If an answer is incorrect, it will be returned by the panel of judges and there will be one more chance to continue answering; the time for answering in this case will be added to the previous one.
Very quickly, an feedback from the competition committee was received on Xu Bin's computer - AC!
It means that it has passed!
"Mist City Arts and Science University passed [Question A] in 15 minutes and 14 seconds!"
Accompanied by the announcement from the competition center, Ding Yue finally breathed a small sigh of relief upon hearing this result.
Since it was Xu Bin's first time participating in the ACM contest, factors such as nervousness could slow down their answering speed.
However, it wasn't as slow as expected. Compared to ace school teams like those from Haicheng University of Transportation and Moscow State University, they were only about 20 seconds slower.
