If you are new to TSSOJ or are unfamiliar with the judge input/output format, try to complete the following problems before attempting the contest.

• Hello World!
• A plus B

The contest consists of 10 questions in an order of difficulty from easiest (J2 level) to hardest (S3 level). It is highly recommended to read all of the problems. After the contest window begins, you may begin at any time. You will be able to submit until the hard deadline at the end of the month.

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.

You may leave and rejoin the contest at any time throughout the month, progress will be saved. To do, simply click the leave contest button on the contest page after joining.

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

• Start from the beginning. Ties will be broken by the sum of times used to solve the problems starting from the beginning of the contest.
• Remove all extra debugging code and/or input prompts from your code before submitting. The judge is strict — your output must match the judge output exactly.
• Do not pause program execution at the end. The judging process is automated. You should use stdin / stdout to perform input / output, respectively.
• It should be guaranteed that all the problems will be solvable with C++, Python 3/PyPy3, and Java.

At the end of the contest, you may comment below to appeal a judging verdict. In the case of appeals, the decision(s) of our staff is final.
