Error: Wrong Problem Code

sc_shobhit 2013-01-12 16:07:29 UTC #1

I am trying to submit my solution for problems ID- TEST and PRIME1. However, the online judge returns an error stating "Wrong Problem Code", even though i checked that the problem ID box was correctly filled. Kindly help me in this regard.
EDIT: This is driving me crazy. The next problem I tried met with same fate, namely PALIN. Someone please help me.

Are you still experiencing this issue?

Although later I was successfully able to submit the solutions for TEST and PRIME1, PALIN is still experiencing the same fate. Another thing I noticed was that whenever SPOJ shows "Wrong Problem Code", ideone.com (which uses SPOJ engine) also shows "not running" (not runtime error or compilation error). It seems, in general, that sometimes due to some server error, there is some problem in solution submission while rest of the time it works fine. Kindly look into the matter.

I don't see an issue with PALIN, there are many solutions being submitted recently in the last 24 hrs. Can you please post steps that you are taking to cause the error?

Btw: I have no control over the main site. I am just a forum moderator trying to be helpful.

The problem initially is opened from it’s source
e.g. problem COMPANY it’s originally in MIT Individual Contest 2008, and it’s URL is

so you will get wrong problem if you try to submit,
but it you remove this /MIT081 from the URL and the new URL is

you can submit it easy and it will open from the problem lists
