The roman hackerus

[admin]

1. Just plan for every scenario, since we don't mention in the description, consider anything is possible.
2. It's possible, but our tests don't exercise that corner case.
3. The tests are designed so that only 1 message is possible

Hi!

Does the dictionary contain one word per line or phrases per line?
If there are phrases per line, shall we consider them as single words or as phrases.

for example
the decoded string is: THIS IS A DECODED STRING

then in the first case the dictionary looks like this:
THIS
IS
A
DECODED
STRING
SOME
OTHER
WORDS

and in the second:
THIS IS A
IS A
DECODED STRING
STRING
SOME OTHER
WORDS

kind regards!
P.

The dictionary contains only 1 word per line.
There are no extra spaces.

can you give me sample of input file you used for verifying my submission on roman hackerus because verification process keep going and never stop

[davidb]

win4t4,

are you talking about verification or submission taking forever ?

[win4t4]

verification.

[David Berthelot]

The verification simply uses the example given with the puzzle actually.
The submission uses more tests (the ones shown as unit tests below the source code editor)

[Ross Brigoli]

I'm having the same problem. Verification is taking forever. I'm using Chrome.

[admin]

Verification taking forever: I'm looking into it. I cannot reproduce it here, so can you give me some hints to that I can guess what could be the problem ?

Is it only for this puzzle or is the same problem also happening for other puzzles ?
Is it a permanent problem or does it happen just sometimes ?

And last, what country are you accessing the website from (may be it's a lag issue due to the internet condition) ?

[Ross Brigoli]

The problem is intermittent and only happens in this puzzle. It seems like there's a hang javascript/ajax function.

I am from Philippines. It's seems ok now.
