Before the contest date, you may wish to check out the tips page.

After joining the contest, you proceed to the Problems tab to begin. You can also go to Users if you wish to see the rankings.

We have listed below some advice as well as contest strategies:

• Remove all extra debugging code and/or input prompts from your code before submitting. The judge is very strict — most of the time, it requires your output to match exactly.
• Do not pause program execution at the end and do not prompt for input. The judging process is automated.
• Read carefully, and try to attempt all the problems. They may not be as hard as they seem and you may get partial points!
• We do not support hsa.Console, please do not attempt to use it.
