If the answer is 10, and you print 10.000001 or 9.999999 (difference is 0.000001), then also your answer will be considered correct.

Well, if you just print the integer also, without any decimal points, you would get AC. The answer will always be integer. This was most probably either an error or a very nice trick to confuse users. (I am guessing it to be the latter)
