Why does 1001 not appear in the sample output?

Are there problems with the actual test data too, then? By "disregard question 3", do you mean that it isn't going to be counted?

Yes, there are problems in the test data as well. It would leave us with less post-contest cleanup maintenance if you were to not figure out a way to score anyway.

Do the question as it is writen and don't try to manipulate it so you get 5/5 with incorect data that judge will mark right.

The thing is, the question is written wrong as well. I think Dan is saying "Do the question as it was intended".

But the judge has wrong test data.

Hey, I hardcoded the problem and I got 0/5 for it. Is it because you took it down after a while? If so, missed out on some very easy points.

I'm not sure how one even attempt to hard code a solution for variable input, but...
