I request the Codechef team to show the verdict of a solution in all the test cases in a CookOff, and not only the verdict of the whole solution.
In the question like PERCAPTA, I had used the same logic as the tester and setter did(I tried dfs, then dsu) but my answer got a TLE.
After the contest I came to know just by changing the global variables to local ones and some other optimizations, would have turned that TLE into an AC. On the other hand, I was thinking of algorithms which would turn out to be more efficient, but the result remained the same.
According to me, if the Codechef team could show the verdicts of all the test cases in a Cookoff(as they do in Lunchtime and Long Challenge), it would be helpful.
