This Y2K bug was a no-show at this year's Computer Programming Competition. The places are awarded by the number of problems solved. In the event of a tie, the team with the least amount of time is given a higher standing. In the rare event that the time is also tied, the judges choose a winner based upon frequency of submissions, types of problem errors, and appearance of code.
Time is the total of all times when problems are submitted correct plus the penalty time.
Penalty time is accrued as 20 minuted for every incorrect solution to a problem that is later submitted correctly - there is no penalty for a problem that is never solved.
