This software competition was 40 minutes long.
The rules of the competition were that whoever made the highest-grade software within 40 minutes would win.
This kind of rule was simple and crude. It was precisely the rigor of such professional competitions.
Software competitions were not better than software. Could it be that they were better at playing games?
40 minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Mas was the first to finish. A green light on his computer indicated to the judges that he had completed the software.
A gasp could be heard from the stands.
"It's only been 32 minutes and he's already done? He's strong."
"Looks like we're up for grabs this year."
As Mas completed the software first, the contestant from Country H also finished and the green light lit up.
He was a good five minutes behind Mas.
He took 37 minutes to complete the mission.
