Fifteen minutes before the start of the game, Qin Jingyu opened the computer and the screen recording software that had been installed in it according to the game rules broadcast on the radio.

After the competition staff checked one by one, the countdown ended and the venue announced the start of the competition.

The three of them use a computer and have a total of fifteen competition questions. The competition lasts for five hours. During lunch time, the unified staff will distribute lunch boxes, and you can choose to eat or not.

During the competition, they have multiple submission opportunities. The competition is evaluated in real time and the results are returned. If the submitted results are incorrect, there will be a 20-minute penalty. The more errors, the longer the penalty time, and each question can only be completed after all Points are awarded when all data points are correct.

This means that if they finish writing the code for a question, they should be careful when submitting the code without being completely sure.

Competition rankings will be judged based on the number of questions completed. If the number of questions is the same, the ranking will be based on the total time taken. The total time is the sum of the time for each question, and the time for each question is the sum of the number of minutes from the start of the game to the completion of the question and the penalty time for the question.

The ICPC International College Student Programming Competition is recognized globally as the largest, highest-level, and most participated college student programming competition. It is known as the "Olympics" of the IT industry. It can be seen from the strict rules of a small regional competition. How competitive it is.

Even if the list is closed one hour before the end of the game, the submissions and rankings after the list will be closed will not be visible to other players. This means that teams that want to win by time must be mentally prepared to open the blind box.

The question board had just been opened, and the rules of the competition were being repeated for the last time in the sky above the venue. Yang Qingyun shook hands and said, "Actually, I'm starting to get nervous."

Zhen Wei said helplessly: "This has just begun. There are still five hours left. Your mental quality needs to be improved."

Yang Qingyun: "I have never participated in such a professional and valuable competition."

Qin Jingyu calmly printed out the questions first and said by the way: "Experience it two more times and you will get used to it."

She thought, no one was not nervous at first.

If she hadn't had those experiences in her previous life, she wouldn't know how well she would be doing now.

Yang Qingyun chuckled twice, "I will try my best to adapt to this environment."

There were a total of fifteen questions and five hours of competition time. She printed out all the questions and asked Yang Qingyun to first choose two questions that she was good at during special training.

The topics compiled by Zhen Wei are all test questions from previous ICPC competitions, some of which are no less difficult than the official exams. Yang Qingyun has done so much special training, which can help him be useful at critical moments.

The three teammates cooperated in an orderly manner, just like they had trained in the training room in advance. As time passed, Qin Jingyu submitted the codes for the first three questions at once, and all passed with AC. Zhen Wei had There was an error in two running programs and a twenty-minute penalty was imposed.

Fortunately, in the entire competition field, there should be more than one group of them submitting code and receiving time penalties after running errors.

Later, under Qin Jingyu's command, she would try her best to check the code before submitting it initially, and then submit it. Although this was a bit time-consuming, at least in some aspects, it would avoid being penalized for running errors after submitting the code.

At the last hour of closing the list, Qin Jingyu submitted the code for the last question and the program passed.

Yang Qingyun: "Nice! I didn't expect that we would really catch up on the time."

Zhen Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, "At least in terms of time, we shouldn't fall behind other teams."

Qin Jingyu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite the five-hour competition time, only fifteen questions were set. In fact, when the questions were actually done, it was discovered that as long as there was a problem with the program code of one question, a lot of time would be wasted to fix it.

Therefore, the five-hour competition time is not as long as expected. For teams that are slightly slower in typing code, it is simply not enough. Some teams may even fail to complete fifteen tasks within the stipulated time. topic.

Yang Qingyun stretched his arms and legs, "No, I have to go to the toilet. I was just chasing time and was holding back, so I didn't dare to go."

Zhen Wei: "Me too, I need to go to the toilet too."

Qin Jingyu: "Go ahead, I'll watch from here."

Yang Qingyun: "Qin Shen, let's go shush together?"

Qin Jingyu: "Uh..."

Thank you for your kindness, but that’s not necessary.

Qin Jingyu's team completed fifteen questions within the prescribed time. Although there was a penalty time, the total time was controlled within five hours.

When the five-hour competition time is up, all contestants stop answering questions and only need to wait in their seats for about five to ten minutes before today's competition results are announced.

Yang Qingyun: "It's over. I'm a little nervous. I'm dreaming back to when I was waiting for the college entrance examination scores."

The long ten minutes seemed like a year.

Compared with Yang Qingyun's nervousness, Qin Jingyu and Zhen Wei seemed relatively calm. When the game time came, they also tried their best during the game. Now they just have to wait for the scores.

Zhen Wei thought for a moment and said, "Although we were penalized twice, we submitted all the questions when the rankings were announced, which means we made up for all the penalized time and completed all the tasks." As for the topic, it stands to reason that our final ranking won’t be too bad.”

When Qin Jingyu heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "Senior Zhen Wei and I have the same view."

After Yang Qingyun listened, he said, "That's right, you two great gods are here to take charge."

He needs to adjust his mentality.

When ten minutes were up, the results of all participating teams appeared on the big electronic screen.

At a glance, the team from China Overseas University ranked first, with the names of the team members: Qin Jingyu, Zhen Wei, and Yang Qingyun.

Ranked second was the team from China Maritime University of Computer Science. They also completed a total of fifteen questions, but their total time was a full forty minutes behind Qin Jingyu, which was equivalent to two penalty times for code execution errors.

As for Qin Jingyu's team, although there was a penalty time, it only took four hours and twenty-five minutes. The five-hour game was exactly nearly forty minutes ahead of schedule. This was even if there was a code error that increased the penalty time. game time.

All participating teams could only marvel at the results of Qin Jingyu's team. There was only one thought in everyone's mind, that is, Qin Jingyu was really here to fry fish, and the Zhonghai Division was in danger this time.
