Edge case in prediction algorithm

[atharv-patil]

Today I gave LeetCode biweekly contest, I submitted the last question 30 seconds prior to the end, and the algorithm is most probably not considering my submission for the last question while predicting the delta and the combined rank.

Hello, @atharv-patil . Thanks for raising this issue.

All predictions are executed at least 5 minutes after the contest has concluded. Even if you submitted 30 seconds before the contest ended, it might not reflect in the leaderboard update. This delay is due to a data synchronization issue in the LeetCode US region, which may update the leaderboard after the contest has ended. I will rerun the contest and consider other updating methods.
