Anybody else noticed the huge influx of new "beats 100%" posts? I myself in Python also suddenly got several times that were faster than any times I had ever gotten before. I asked and was told that indeed the judge was recently upgraded and it's now faster. New times also aren't immediately added to the statistic (but only once a week or so?), so currently the times achieved on the new faster judge are compared with times of the old slower judge. And as always, times can vary quite a bit even when you submit the exact same code twice, especially in Python, so there's luck involved.
I just grabbed the most recent 2607 topics as listed on the Recent page and did some statistics:
0 days ago, 29 out of 239 titles said "100%"
1 days ago, 24 out of 168 titles said "100%"
2 days ago, 26 out of 174 titles said "100%"
3 days ago, 33 out of 187 titles said "100%"
4 days ago, 4 out of 143 titles said "100%"
5 days ago, 5 out of 127 titles said "100%"
6 days ago, 0 out of 152 titles said "100%"
7 days ago, 0 out of 115 titles said "100%"
8 days ago, 1 out of 166 titles said "100%"
9 days ago, 0 out of 149 titles said "100%"
10 days ago, 1 out of 96 titles said "100%"Looks like it started 5 days ago and really got huge 3 days ago.
Anyway... now that you know that your solution probably isn't really better than everybody else's, you can stop making a fuss about it as if it were.
