There on the right side you can find the an option ‘Active Contests’. Log in to your account and register for the contest. The registration closes 5 minutes before the contest! Rest of the way on how to use Topcoder is there. Now in a contest you cant run the system testing. The server will do it! Once you finished with the contest you can find the editorial here!
