Introduction
Problem statement of Balls and Boxes is here.
Algorithm
Progress report - 5/21/2017 12:28 am
After hours of writing the code, from 9:00 pm to 12:28 am, over 3 hours work, first success submission scored 38 points with only first 4 test cases, failed #2 test case. There are 5 more test cases are not tested.
The score will go down more because there are more failure test cases. Right now, the maximum score is lowered to 57 from 70 since the algorithm has the full score the first day, and then go down next day to 63, go down to 57 the third day.

And the ranking on lead board moved forward from 3000+ to 1022. Let us compare to a Googler:
Julia looked into the success rate first, and then she decided to work on this hard algorithm. The whole day Julia was busy with mocking interview, 4 mocking experience. She was glad that her effort on balls and boxes improved her ranking over 1000 once.
Julia reviewed her code and then she tried to fix the test case 2. So she likes to journal some writing on the paper about her thinking process and then share it after the contest.
Learn through the thinking process. Write down all test cases tested in the contest.
