Hi Ilhor,

It doesn't look like the account you used to post this has any submissions
for that problem in our system. If you are using a different account and
want us to look into it, please contact us privately at [email protected]
with your account details.

That being said, our system is different now than in 2018 and it's possible
that old time limits are now too loose or too tight depending on the
problem. Specifically, the new backend is slower to compile some languages,
which means that a 5s time limit may not be appropriate if the problem were
used today. Remember that compilation time is currently being counted as
part of your overall time (for compiled languages) so if compilation is
taking close to 5s, it's possible that random noise can make the judgment
oscillate between CTLE (when it takes more than 5), TLE (when it takes less
than 5 but close to it, leaving not it enough time for running) and
something else (when it does finish everything).

We are working on improving the system to reduce variance, and we set our
time limits to ensure intended solutions pass despite that variance.
Improving the system continuously unfortunately means that some time limits
of the past may not be appropriate anymore one way or the other.

Best,
Pablo
