Hello. I had submitted an solution for this question, and recieved a score of 1/5, though I'm not sure where the mistake was. I used Python, and the link to my solution is here: http://dwite.org/uploads/5e8HewEV4h/783/85/0/answer3.py My team name is PropagandaPanda on DWITE as well. I just checked, and the result produced appears to be the same as the answer. The only possible explanations I can come up with are that the judge was using a different version of Python (I just checked with 2.5.1), or if the input file had a proceeding/trailing space somewhere. I would appreciate clarification on this. Thanks. |

Would it be a problem with trailing spaces? ie 'blah blah blah____' instead of 'blah blah blah' |

Yes, I think trailing spaces are the issue. I had split the data by line breaks, rather than by any white space. I'll take note of that for next time. Thanks. |

Oh right, since the judge runs on a Windows VM (because a bunch of people use Turing, and some use VB), newlines are \r\n The judging environment has been, and is described at http://dwite.org/judge |
