Duration
There are multiple rounds to the Facebook Hacker Cup. The Qualification Round lasts 72-hours. Online Round 1 consists of 3 sub-rounds each 3-hours long. Online Round 2 lasts 3-hours long.

Environment

Time-limited trials for compilers and interpreters are disallowed. Visual Studio is acceptable as a compiler, since there's a free version of (almost the same) compiler available, Visual Studio Express. Facebook reserves the right to make further exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
