Kinda funny...

Post by Darko »

If you look at the stats page of 10464:

http://acm.uva.es/cgi-bin/OnlineJudge?P ... 0464:500:0

and scroll down, near the end there is a program with running time of 1s. Note how it is displayed. Then check what the problem is about:

I'm sorry, but I don't think I get the point.

He said "point"! :)

Well, I guess it's not funny (was to me at the time I posted this), but if you are doing that problem and add two numbers, say 0.999 + 0.001
answer should be 1.0 not 0.1000 (and the stats page says 0:00.1000 instead of 0:01.000, that's all).

Oooooooooooooooooohhhhh!!! So that's what you mean! :D

For a second, I thought you were saying something like "such an easy problem and someone wrote a program that takes 1 second to solve it". LOL

Well, now that I see what the "point" is about, it's kinda funny, yes. :lol:

Sorry about the confusion...

Great bug. I hope they won't fix it. :wink:
