referring to the google code challenge from Top Coder whose qualifying round started at noon Tuesday. I thought I had 1 hour per question, not total. So with 10 minutes to go, I open the 750pt question and see my time not starting over like I thought. Hmmm. It'd also help if people could word their challenge questions a little better. I swear I spend more time deciphering the friggin problem than solving it.


So.... anyone else try besides me?

Well ether it wasnt obvious that it was only 1hr total, in which case everyone would have been in the same boat as you. Or it was obvious and you were stupid for not noticing.

Lets see if any one else posts and says they made the same mistake as you. And if hardly anyone does post, then it was because you were stupid.

(Oh come on Phaelx)

Oh and surly deciphering the question is part of the overall problem, just like in real life.
