Direct link to Contest times for all timezones

In the page where all contests are listed (http://www.codechef.com/contests), it would be good, if you could make the times (start time and end time of each contest) hyperlink to http://www.timeanddate.com/ so that it shows you the times for all timezones.

One can of course find the timezone if we go to the homepage of the particular contest. But, that is a two-click process. If Codechef could support this as well, it will be a one-click process, which we all would like.

I never thought about this, when I was back in India. But now, I moved abroad, and it is a bit difficult to keep sync with IST. I mess up the timings almost every time, now.

Best,

Tijo

In fact, all times are shown in IST. So, wherever time appears, a hyperlink as above would be helpful.

Have you guys faced an issue where after submitted solution is tested , we hit the browser back button and the solution gets submitted again. I am not 100% sure but browser back button had some issues.

I would also like input and output using functions like topcoder. (Although I don’t know why many competitions still use the std i/o.)

Something to borrow from HACKERRANK, show which test-cases failed with their times without actually revealing the output.
