Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
If you are really desperate, maybe just keep refreshing. There is very little we can do since DDoS is a very “brute force” attack and is hard to fix. Maybe solve all the questions and test them using the sample cases. After that try submitting if you can.

Consider doing the questions offline and test then with the sample cases. After you complete it try refreshing over and over and see if you can manage to go in.

I was planning to write the exam now but it isn’t working. It seems like a DDOS attack.
