At the end of the 48 hour contest period, we will determine winners by looking at total points earned on the HackerRank leaderboard. If there are ties in the final score, we will use time of submission as a tiebreaker. For example, suppose 2 students each earned a score of 15 (arbitrary number). One student earned that score of 15 within 12 hours of the start of the contest, while another earned it within 40 hours. The student who scored within 12 hours would be ranked higher. 

• Each problem will have its own test cases and point value, similar to how the first contest worked. A participant’s score depends on the number of test cases a participant’s code submission successfully passes. This includes both the sample test cases available in the problem description and several other hidden test cases (for which participants can see results upon submitting that problem, but cannot see the inputs themselves). If a participant submits more than one solution per problem, then the participant’s score will reflect the highest score achieved. Once again, you can log in and log out of the contest as you wish during the 48-hour weekend.
