[edit] Grading

The grading section for each problem defines the information to be submitted on your team's USB drive for that problem. Please follow these instructions closely, if the graders have to parse tea leaves to figure-out your answer it's unlikely it will receive full credit.

For all problems partial credit will be given to teams that can clearly articulate a complete approach to the solution in the absence of time constraints imposed by the competition environment.
