He solved \u0027em all before me. He was bragging that he achieved the 1st place. I took quite a bit to figure out the last \"DNA Sorting\" problem. And as soon as I got it correct, I was at the top of the leaderboard. I\u0027ve seen the \"Penalty\" column so many times, but didn\u0027t bother to notice it that much. Today I see that \"less trial to solve, better the probability to be the topper\u0027.\n\nI have a question, shouldn\u0027t the time to complete get the priority above all? And how does actually this \"Penalty\" works? And how do I calculate it if I want to? If its already explained elsewhere, link me there please.\n\nAppreciate your help!","threadId":12174,"likeCnt":6,"createTime":1489485908000,"isWorkbook":false,"viewCnt":8155,"openness":2,"fav":false,"id":79,"trustable":false}
