CTC Scoring system

The scoring system and formula are exactly same as last year.

• 60 minutes allowed to solve the Tapa puzzle after you start
• 2 minutes penalty for each wrong submission
• 15% time penalty for each late day (maximum 2 late days are allowed – so a puzzle can be solved upto 72 hours after it is uploaded)
• Each puzzle has its own points, which is computed from solving times of top 10% players on that day.
• Each player gets points for solving a puzzle based on own solving time and others’ solving times. Exponential distribution is used.
• Total points for a player is sum of puzzle points over 35days.
