We are as excited as you are as the clock ticks down to 3.15pm today and the start of the first Challenge. Remember that the points for Challenge 1B and Challenge 2B won't count for the Overall Leader Board, so you can regard this as a practice. On the other hand we have set time points for both challenges just to check the system and so you can see how it works, and will publish Leader Boards for them just for fun. You can check the points schedule for each Part B challenge by clicking the link on the index card next to it, and you can bring up a text only window containing the text of each challenge by clicking on its title on the typewriter page showing it. This might help if you have trouble selecting the beautiful typewritten text on the page.
The clock on the Submit a Solution page should show you what time we think it is, and when you submit your anwer (instruciton on the rules page) you will get an onscreen receipt of your submission and timestamp. You can print this or save it however you wish and keep it safe. You can Get Feedback on your submission for Challenge 1 A and Challenge 1B from 9am tomorrow (Friday) and it will update at the end of each time period.
Hope you enjoy the first round!
All the best,
Harry
