* A simple description of the problem.<br>Having a solution to the task allows you to tune the task description so that the size of outputs or run times are reasonable.
A task needs a few basic components. It neeeds a '''simple description of the problem'''. Having a solution to the task allows you to tune the task description such that the run times and/or size of outputs are reasonable.

* Inline references to specifically-related information.<br>Although links to offsite information do help in a task description, it is best to have enough of a description of the task on the R.C. site itself.
'''Inline references to specifically-related information''' are important. While offsite links are often necessary (if only for appropriate citation), enough cited, excerpted information should be included such that the task may still be solved.
* Sample input (where relevant; it depends on the task)

Where relevant, '''sample input''' should be included; it gives task solvers something to work with.
