With just 6 days left until the challenge closes and an incredible €35,000 prize pool on the line, this is a great moment to jump in if you haven’t submitted yet - or to improve your existing submission.

Thanks for picking up the issue with how some questions were scored. Based on this we’ve updated the Pass @ K scoring function.

What this means in practice:

1. Answers must follow the required format exactly – see the sample submission file Your submission text should look like:

“Based on the provided data, the most likely root cause for …: \boxed{C1}”

The scorer now checks the value inside \boxed{}. If the boxed answer is missing, malformed, or the format isn’t followed, that prediction will score 0.

This means:

• Submissions that previously received partial or accidental credit may now score lower
• Correct answers will only be counted if they are boxed correctly (e.g. \boxed{C1}, \boxed{D}, etc.)

2. Rescore happening today We’ll be re-scoring the leaderboard today using the updated logic to ensure results are consistent, fair, and transparent for everyone.

📌 What you should do now

• Double-check your submission format
• Remember not to copy answers from one track to another - those submissions will be disqualified

Thanks for bearing with us - and as always, shout in the discussions if anything is unclear. Happy coding! 🚀
