  7. How are challenge points calculated?
    This year's CTF has dynamically calculated challenge points, the formula is:
    int(round(min_points + (max_points - min_points) / (1 + (max(0, solves - 1) / 11.92201) ** 1.206069)))
    min_points and max_points are 30 and 500 for most challenges.
    Please note that the coefficients are subject to change while our deep neural network optimizes them for your ideal game experience.
