Some tips:
- Read all the problem statements. Avoid the sunk cost fallacy.
- Start with the simplest solution possible, no matter its efficiency, and work your way towards a more efficient solution from that.
- If you get Time Limit Exceeded, it is usually not by a margin of a few milliseconds, the solution is most likely way too slow. Examine the time complexity and look for hot paths in your code.
- Rule of thumb: A modern CPU can perform approximately 100 million operations each second.
- Look at the scoreboard for info. The most solved problem is likely the easiest one.
- You have (up to) three people, but only one computer. Think things through for a while on paper before starting to code.
- Try out Kattis before the contest, for example: Forritunarkeppni Háskólanna á Íslandi 2023 (Note: compared to last year, this year's iteration we added more problems on the easier side)

Pass/Fail — Ranked
Explanation:
Each problem is pass/fail. Participants are ranked by the number of solved problems, breaking ties by penalty (sum of time + 20 minutes per wrong submission, for all solved problems). Time is rounded to minutes.
