I believe in the previous rules, your score will be 10 points and penalty time would be 1 hour, same as the new rule. > > *Situation B:* > 1. I submit a problem get the visible set right, and the hidden set right, > at 1 hour. > 2. I submit again and get the visible set right, but the hidden set wrong, > at 2 hours. > > My score is 10 points, and my penalty time is 1 hour. > Under the previous rules, my score would be 10 points and my penalty time > would be 2 hours, 4 minutes. > I think in the previous rules, your score is 10 points and penalty time is 1 hour, same as the new rule. > > *Situation C:* > 1.

I submit again and get the visible set wrong, and the hidden set wrong, > at 2 hours. > > My score is 30 points, and my penalty time is 1 hour. > I forget how the old scoring system would have scored this. > I think in the previous rules, you get 10 points and the penalty time is 1 hour. I think the major difference between the previous rule and the new rule is In the previous rule, the hidden test for a submission will be run only when that submission is the LAST submission and it passed all the visible test. In the new rule, the hidden test for a submission will be run only when that submission is the LAST submission that passed all visible test. For scoring, it always use your best submission to determine your score. The best submission is the first one that give you highest score. So Situation A and B should be no difference in either rule. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
