Apparently, there was this contest today, in which the following code gave a SIGXSZF, and later a TLE. http://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/6815149
The setter's solution was in no way different apart from the above solution, and was naturally accepted. http://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/6814920
Now all I want to ask, especially from the host, is that why are such contests even held, where having changes in presentation results in TLE, while a similar code gets accepted.
