CodeChef Compiler BLUNDER! STARTERS 173

bug reports
1

In Codechef starters 173, judgement of problem OVERWRITE was being done INCORRECTLY, the compiler was judging wrong.

(SUBMISSION A, judged CORRECT)

https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/1132276089
(SAME ABOVE SOLUTION COPY PASTED (after contest))
(SUBMISSION B, judged INCORRECT (TLE ))

Can someone provide an explanation for the same? Really messed up my contest.

I faced the same issue as well. In my case, instead of TLE, I got a Wrong Answer verdict for the same solution, which completely diverted me into thinking that my logic was incorrect. This was really frustrating and messed up my approach during the contest. Hope CodeChef looks into this inconsistency in judging.
