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 when the problem was open to submitting the first accepted run plus 20 penalty minutes for every previously rejected. There is no time consumed for a problem that is not solved. In the end, contestants shared their solutions with the rest of the group and some of their struggles. This allowed participants to learn from one another by observing how others approach the same problem. We are happy that these competitions offer a platform for developers to solve real-world coding problems, test their skills, and compete with others. -![](2023-08-15-11-43-34.png) -![](2023-08-15-11-45-25.png) +![](/images/2023-08-15-11-43-34.png) +![](/images/2023-08-15-11-45-25.png) See you on the next one!
