It's harder than I thought it would be, actually. Or rather... the time-limit makes it tough.

Be pedantic about the output from your programs. The instructions will specify to print certain things to screen, and it is that on which your programs are marked. The fact that your code is correct is irrelevant - they don't rely on teachers to be able to understand the code, just to be able to run it feeding in some intput and check the output is correct.

I fell foul of this one, something trivial like working out three numbers, printing them to screen, and then printing their sum. I missed printing the sum - calculated it, but forgot to print. If I'd put that in, I'd have got full marks :frown:
