TLE

Unlike regular programming contests which have deterministic solutions, the goal with TLE is to create a better solution to a problem for which computing the deterministic solution is unfeasible. Programmers must come up with good heuristics to score higher on the given problem.

As per the need of the problem, you give the best possible answer you could come up with and your solution is judged accordingly. Remember there’s a time limit associated so you might not pass certain tests but might pass some, so you do not get any points for the test you do not pass.
