The scoring system is a bit unfair these days. Taiwan and Kiev solved 6 problems each, got the gold. Ural State solved 6 problems, got nothing.

- OmniLarry 17y agoWhat do you mean? That's what the tiebreaker is for. Problem writing is hard, especially if you're trying to distinguish between very close competitors.
- gridspy 17y agoThe difference between those different entrants is a huge amount of time. The winning unis made correct entries earlier, and had less incorrect entries. Compare it to a marathon where there are 9 finish lines. The more you cross, the better you did. Everyone who crossed the 6th line is ranked by when they crossed it - or how fast they ran. They probably also got much closer to the 7th line before the time ran out.
