I just submitted the same solution to check and yes it failed with wrong answers. How was this solution selected? or is there some mistake while uploading - please correct.

In the real world, you rarely know that your answer is plain wrong, so giving out the testdata here would give you an unfair advantage towards the real world case. As for crashes and time limit exceeds, you usually get the input that caused your program to malfunction / work too slow in production, but a properly developed application should never do this under the constraints that it was developed for. You should be able to test it thoroughly before submitting it into production, and the same thing works for contests. 2. I absolutely agree with this, the source code itself is only valuable once one knows the idea behind the solution. I’d like to reply to some of the points you’ve mentioned.

Therefore, I ended up having time to only attempt 3 problems and then unfortunately none of the companies I applied to invited me. So I really hope #3 on the UI fixes list above is implemented before the next sprint takes place!
