The time consumed for a solved problem is the time elapsed from the beginning of the contest to the submittal of the accepted run plus 20 penalty minutes for every rejected run for that problem regardless of submittal time. There is no time consumed for a problem that is not solved. a = accepted run r = rejected run p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 -- -- -- -- -- glouser a ra a hubes a rra a hwatheod a ra a yusufali a a a time elpsd = time elapsed glouser hubes hwatheod yusufali -------- -------- -------- -------- P1 time elpsd 0:52:31 0:17:35 0:04:47 1:33:58 P1 penalty 0 0 0 0 P1 total time 0:52:31 0:17:35 0:04:47 1:33:58 P2 time elpsd P2 penalty P2 total time P3 time elpsd 1:19:29 1:26:18 1:16:22 0:58:46 P3 penalty 0:20:00 0:40:00 0:20:00 0 P3 total time 1:39:29 2:06:18 1:36:22 0:58:46 P4 time elpsd 2:53:09 2:05:19 P4 penalty 0 0 P4 total time 2:53:09 2:05:19 P5 time elpsd 2:29:55 2:58:03 P5 penalty 0 0 P5 total time 2:29:55 2:58:03 ========================================================== Total time elp. 4:41:55 4:37:02 3:26:28 5:30:47 Total penalty 0:20:00 0:40:00 0:20:00 0 ------- ------- ------- ------- Total time 5:01:55 5:17:02 3:46:28 5:30:47 This was really a close contest, but Theodore Hwa managed to come out on top followed by Grant and Hubie.

If someone on the first team cannot compete for some reason, then Theodore will take his place, and Salim will compete with the second team. Congratulations to you all, and good luck at the regionals! -James
