Judge giving unusual verdict on FCTRE

I have solved FCTRE of this long challenge using mo’s algorithm. where one of the correct solution gave TLE. Blocksize = 550, AC with 2.94s Here Blocksize = 700, AC with 2.83s Here Blocksize = 630, TLE Here After the contest, I re-submitted the code with blocksize 630 and it gave AC with 3.29s Here It could have been okay if It got TLE within 1s range. but here is the difference of around 4s. This would be dangerous for short contests. (Side note : I believe that for a certain block size,…

this is major problem in this question.
