So... you can get up to 50 points for the fastest code, and 20 points for the smallest code. And you only lose up to 20 points for code that doesn't work.

I think I just detected a wonderful loophole in this scoring method.

I think you only get the fast code and small code bonuses on working solutions.
Right, submitting fast but incorrect+buggy code nets you -20 points.
