Waterloo ICPC Contests - Clarifications

Problem	Clarification
A - A Sightseeing	Is the car at the beginning of the first track or the end? No response.
A - A Sightseeing	I'm not sure I understand the problem. Does it matter whether or not we end up in the first track at the end or at the start? No response.
A - A Sightseeing	Is it possible to get explanation/notes for the sample tests (even just first or second)? No. All I can provide is the problem statement. You need to work through the sample tests following the problem statement yourself.
B - B Suiting Weavers	Can you cancel the penalties on compilation errors (just like official ICPC contests)? My code for problem B runs perfectly fine on my machine but gets compilation error on the judge. I'm suspecting it's due to C++ version difference, and I roughly know what's causing the error, but I don't want to risk penalties for testing whether it compiles. In Waterloo local contests, compile errors count towards penalty minutes (20).
B - B Suiting Weavers	In the input section, it says "f is the size of the nest in number of fibers". Does it mean the initial number of fibers each weaver has, or the capacity of the nests? No response.
General	Are compile errors supposed to count towards penalty? In Waterloo local contests, compile errors count towards penalty minutes (20).
B - B Suiting Weavers	"After all fibers have been picked up". Does this include piles which are not reachable by any bird? This does not include piles that are not reachable by any bird.
