FIRST OF ALL

Only teams registered at the ACPC registration can submit solutions. Each registered team obtains a unique id in the form of acmxxx. The coach of each team is responsible for their civil conduct during the contest.

Team composition

Each team must be composed of 3 students. At most one contestant of each team may hold a baccalaureate degree. No contestant may have completed two years of post-baccalaureate studies or hold a graduate degree.

Rules

The coaches of participating teams will make sure that every team has access to only one work station during the contest and that they do not use forbidden internet or electronic resources during the contest. WIth this respect we follow the ACM ICPC rules.
There are 8 problems named: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.
Teams are ranked according to the most problems solved. Teams that solve the same number of problems are ranked by least total time. The total time is the sum of the time consumed for each problem solved. 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.
You may ask the judge for a clarification on a problem by sending e-mail to jdg001@ugrad.cs.ualberta.ca. However, the most likely answer you will get is: read the problem, so, do not waste your time on this.
Decisions of the judge are final.

Submission

The solution of a problem must be in a single source file with suffix .c, .cc and .java for C, C++ and Java source respectively. The Java program when compiled must produced one class file named by the problem letter (capital). For C and C++ the only load-time library allowed is -lm.
You submit your solution by sending e-mail to jdg001@ugrad.cs.ualberta.ca with appropriate subject line and a message containing two parts.
- The subject line must look like:
```
           acmxxx submits X.eeee
```
  where
  - acmxxx is team id as obtained during the registration
  - X is the name of the problem whose solution you are submitting
  - eeee is the extension and it should be either: c for solutions in C, or cc for solutions in C++, or java for solutions in Java.
- Part I of the message can be empty. The judge will reply to this part with the verdict for the submission.
- Part II should be an attachment with the source file that you are submitting whose name must be the same as stated in the subject line.
All input is from standard input, all output is to standard output. You must not use any additional files unless a problem statement specifies what other files to use.
Your solution must run in a very short time: a couple of seconds must be enough.
You may get one of the following responses from the judge:
- Accepted
- Rejected
  When your submission is rejected, you will get one of the following reasons for rejection:
  - does not compile
  - run-time error
  - presentation error
  - incorrect output
  - time limit (runs too long)
The presentation error means that the layout of your output is different than specified in the problem, it does not mean that your answer is correct.

Judging environment

All judging is done on Linux version 2.4.22.
For C/C++ gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 is used. Your submissions will be compiled using the following makefile:
```
CC=gcc
LDFLAGS= -lm
CCC=g++
.c:
	$(CC) $< -o $@ $(LDFLAGS)
.cc:
	$(CCC) $< -o $@ $(LDFLAGS)
```
For Java java version "1.4.1_04" is used.
