Problem	Clarification
General	Which internet resources are we allowed to use? It is at your local coach's discretion -- if you are an unofficial competitor please restrict yourself to standard C, C++, and Java documentation. The rules do state than any amount of printed material is permitted.
General	What should I name my Java classes? Name them the same as the problem letter.
A - Letter Frequency	What's a submission error? It said to "Please contact judge" .... In your case, you're not naming your java class properly. It should be "A" for Problem A.
A - Letter Frequency	But we did.... it's named A.java... are we supposed to leave out the .java? The file name should be "A.java" and the class name should be "A". (We'll actually rename the file for you if you get it wrong, but we won't touch the contents of the file itself).
General	What's a presentation error? It means that your output is correct but you have extra spaces or blank lines.
J - Train Tracks	Is a loop formed when there is only one track piece "MF"? Read the problem statement.
I - Nurikabe	I can't figure out why the second board is not solved... note that it has a different pattern from the first one. Read the problem statement.
H - Partitioning by Palindromes	what's the time limit(for H and in general) It is fairly flexible (and depends on the amount of test data). Essentially if it is only a few times slower than our reference solution we will accept it. A good guideline is 10 seconds.
D - Finding the Transmitter	Can angles be negative or > 360? Read the problem statement.
General	When will scoreboard be unfrozen? Once all judgments are final.
