2. An individual will be ranked overall based on the time it took to solve the questions and the correctness of the solution.
3. The submitted answers to problems by each participant will be evaluated using multiple test cases, and credits will be assigned according to the outcomes from the test cases. The submission will receive partial credit if only certain parts of the test cases are passed.
4. Each participant must bring his/her computer to the competition. The programming language supported include Java, C, C++, C#, and Python. A maximum of 50 submissions will be allowed per problem.
