Yepp, this one got me as well! I found the discrepancy when testing against the sample through, which showed the result for a factor 100 (which needed to be 99). Knowing the correct outcome made debugging a lot easier.
I always make sure my solution passes all the samples before trying the full input.
Me too. I ran all the samples, and I was still banging my head. I can usually see the mistake if it's an off-by-one error in a calculation, but this was a mistake in reading the problem description, so I couldn't see it at first.
Yeah the descriptions contain a lot of story fluff, but also critical bits of information.
