Thanks a lot. Then back to work.

Hi,
Just submitted my Python 2.6.x attempt. It fails on test #3 and #4 with incorrect answer, but gives correct solutions at the toughest #5. I'm just wondering if it is possible to know whether this is really due to an incorrect solution (mighty possible, even if I hope it's not) or whether the fail is due to an output-formatting difference (with floating points it can happen)?

imrehg wrote about toughest five, but if he counts in zero-based way it should help.
tests 4 and 5 are all about sort. sort is alphanumerical so using builtin sort causes fail exactly on 4 and 5 and doesnt influence other tests.
also not obvious trick: 4 and 5 also fail when you trim() input lines in C# / Java

hi.
In the output of bigger test case provided, number of occurrences of

"occ foreclosure"

is 44.5 or 43.5 ...my solution gives

43.5

Should be 44.5.

Admin, could you help check with my C++ verification, ... clicking Verify gives me something weird like this:

ERROR(incorrect): Incorrect result
Your submission failed to give the exact answer on the verification test. Please verify your code.
For reference, you program generated these results:

Not sure what is the expected result from verification step other than it builds correctly.

It is expected to pass the small test given in example with each puzzle.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

The following question about the solution timing:
I have two solutions (both pass) - the second is about 3 times faster for the given testcase open5_in.txt. The times are 125 and 47 ms, but the submission time is always 0.01s Is that OK?

I have sent 5 attempts at this puzzle. Each passes validation and the first test case. They also give the correct output for the extended sample data (except the first 4 print 27.0 instead of 27 for the oprah s sister term; the 5th fixes that discrepancy).

However, each fails for TC 2, 3, and 4, aborting the run before trying TC 5 (because 3 TCs in a row failed), with "invalid output".

I have no idea what's wrong. I have tried changing the sorting order, so that terms with identical counts appear in alphabetical order (even though that was not specified in the problem statement), and added code to print integer-value counts as N rather than N.0, in case that was the problem (though the discussion claimed that problem had been fixed), and it always fails in the same way.

Can you give me any clues on the nature of the "invalid output"?

Have you performed trim() for every input string? If yes - remove it
