For the sake of posterity, I have been able to figure out the scoring formula and am posting it here as I traditionally do. As usual, it’s very similar to the recent contests: score = k1*result + k2*e(k3*runtime) + k4*max(complexity-10,0) + k5*nodes Where: k1 = 0.01 k2 = 0.002 k3 = 4/30 (0.1333333) k4 = 10 k5 = 0.01 Good luck to everyone in these final minutes of the contest!
