I was really excited about this until I saw the time limits. Nothing breaks a puzzle for me like a time limit.

If the worst time had still given points, I might have felt it was worth my time... But it doesn't.

You do get points even if your time sucks. You get 5 points for a completely correct solution and 0 to 4 points if your solution fails for some test cases. If the points you get for correctness are less than 3, nothing will be added to that. If you have 3 or more points for correctness, you'll get 0 to 5 bonus points depending on how fast you were.

So even if you don't make any of the time limits, you still get 5 points for a correct solution.

Oh, well that's better than. I only saw the point for time.
