Just had my test and solved all 5/5 questions but had WA in two questions for their first submission and had around 1 hour 10 mins remaining when the test finished. Do WAs and time taken for submission taken into account for selection?
@sorb1997 You will easily get selected since my friend got selected at 4/5 for July batch.I also tried but unfortunately could only do 2/5 btw can you please tell how did you solve the min max question where we had to eliminate the minimum and maximum for finding maximum distinct.Just to be clear i have already submitted my test 1.5 hours ago.

The test is yet to finish (10 PM End time) and is scheduled for tomorrow as well. Given that discuss in past has been used for plagiarism, I don’t think it would be alright for me to share the approach now. Would be more than happy to share once the contest gets over.

Wow. I solved 5/5 questions with 30 minutes remaining. I got two WA’s in the first question since I didn’t read that ‘[x/y]’ will take up extra spaces. And the 4th question where we had to count distinct del(x, y), I made a silly mistake of not initialising a variable.
Also, after I ppressed ctrl + c twice in the input box for the expected output, I got a warning message saying something like ‘2 forbidden moves detected. You might be disqualified on the 5th forbidden move’. I also mistakenly pressed esc button in the starting of the test, which took me back to the home page. So I had to open the page using the link given in the test again. Even though it took me less than 10 seconds, I think the last two events might be a big deciding factor.

I accidentally once almost closed the lid of my laptop. Actually I didn’t have a table around and was solving problems sitting on bed, and needed to write something on paper, so I was about to close the lid, in order to keep the paper on the lid 
. Just then I remembered that web cam is on, thankfully I didn’t get any warning pop-ups, just hoping this doesn’t lead to disqualification. I could have solved earlier but it took me embarrassingly long time to figure out the 2nd problem (more than others) and for the 4th problem I didn’t realise that answer has to be printed Modulo 10^{9} + 7 for quite a while, this led to a WA. 
Oh the webcam. I totally forgot about that. I was on the sofa when I realised I only have 10% battery left. So I had to run to get my charger(this was before I solved the first question). And the other time my mom came in to check on me. If they have a face detection algorithm to track how long you were gone, it’s ok. If they are just taking screenshots at fixed intervals of time, I might be screwed.
