It is rather uncomfortable that when my program gets WA, exceeding of time limit I can't know the number of the test.

It is rather uncomfortable that when my program gets WA,
exceeding of time limit etc I can't know the number of the
test. Why it's not mentioned in the Online Status?

you wanna know it, but for what ????

Reasons:
1. It gives you some more info on mistakes in your program
so you can know whether it gets WA on the 2nd test (then it
is more possible that the algorithm is wrong) or maybe on
the 15th test (then you can assume that you just didn't
notice a tricky test so the algorithm is true) and some
other information. And it can get WA on the 1st test - what
if you just realised the wrong format of output??? So it's
rather important thing.
2. It is a usual rule for such contests.

It DOESN"T show you THE REASON but if you know the number of the test you can assume something.... For ex., the real contest on the 6th of October (Ekaterinburg)
