Andy, As far as I remember, the old platform was producing a distinct verdict for the case when it cannot recognize the format of the output (for example, it the output doesn't start with Case #1:...). This was very handy in case when my mistake you select your source code file as an output. I think that it would be a good improvement to declare that the first test cases of a visible dataset are those from the sample dataset, and report different verdict if the solution fails on those first test cases (or at least if the system fails to recognize the format of the output).
