REGARDING THE DWITE RULES

[xXInsanityXx]

I was wondering if anyone knows exactly how DWITE judges the programs we submit to them

Here are some things i know/assume

1. DWITE doesent bother looking at your code, as long as it works
2. The program must execute within 2.5 seconds
3. The faster the program submition the more points you get -please if some one could reassure, that would be great-

anything else? anyone

Thanks

Correct. For most languages, it doesn't even take your source, just the compiled version.

Correct.

Also correct. I'm positive of this point.

Yep. Specifically, you get an extra point for every five minutes left in the competition, provided at least one of the outputs is correct.

Scoring

1. At most, two successful submissions are allowed per problem. The score of the second submission will overrule the score of the first submission.

2. A submission will be graded against a set of five required outputs, each worth 20 marks.

3. A bonus of 10 marks will be awarded for a first submission, with each of the five required outputs being correct.

4. A bonus of 1 mark will be awarded for each five minute interval left in the competition at the time of submission, provided that at least one of the five outputs was correct.

first submission meaning the very first submission of a team, or the first submission of a problem in the contest, or what else?

First successful submission of any problem. ie. not the second successful submission of a problem.
