OJ Board

Can anyone tell me exactly how running time of a submission is measured? I will be glad to have a detail answer, specially from the admins. I have searched the board but could not find a topic on it. Were there any thread on it?

I second Shamim's opinion.

If it does not slow down the judge then the idea may be considered. And there should be a limitation on how many virtual contests can be run in parallel (2 or 1). But in the current configuration only one contest can be run, I think. :(

Another point: whenever we tell ...

You can't run such a loop. It will take more than a minute (probably).

Generate all the numbers whose prime factors are 2, 3, 5, 7 and insert them in a sorted list like we do in insertion sort. For example, 1 is a humble number. Now multiply it with 2, 3, 5 and 7 and the new list will be 1 2 3 5 7 ...

[c]
unsigned char s[100]
scanf("%us",s); //is it correct?
// no. 'u' is a type specifier not a type modifier. use "%s" instead

short x;
// "%hd" or "%hi" for decimel conversion
// "%ho" for octal conversion
// "%hx" for hexadecimel conversion

unsigned short x;
// "%hu" for decimel conversion ...

Actually it would be better if we could restrict people to submit upto six hours from where he started but make the duration of the contest nine hours.
Three hour contest is too short as an internet contest
why not have the uva server call "time" for official scores but allow late submissions?
