Hello Everyone, I solved the "Sum A + B" in Java, then I solved it again in python sometime later, And when I did, It doesn't show me that I solved the problem anymore, The problem points are given to me normally, but when I check the problems list, it doesn't mark it as solved, and in my profile, it doesn't show it as well.

Abdullah, Hi!

Really, this seems very strange :( The task is shown as solved at your page as #1 (somewhere in the middle of the page) but with title lacking. I'll try to investigate this - meanwhile feel free to try solving some other problem in different language so we can see whether problem persists...

Normally it is possible to have solutions in several languages for the same task (though total score and problems count surely won't increase).

UPD thanks for your detailed description of the problem - I've found that due to some mystery database change for this your task was not completed. It marked existing Java solution as "previous" but haven't written new one. :(

For now I hastily re-marked existing solution as "main" variant so it shows up all right. However solution text is truncated for some reason - I shall see whether I can extract it from server backups (though I'm not sure the hosting provides such a feature)...

Please sorry for this inconvenience. I'll try to see whether this multiple-solution writing algorithm could be improved somehow to become more robust...
