Hey everbody.
Hello 2015 is a Div.1 + Div.2 contest that will be held in gym soon. As I said, there will be 2 divisions and in each divisions, users of that division can participate ( ( - ∞, 1699] and [1700, 9999]). So, anybody who participates in the wrong division will be out of competition (manually).
Duration is 3 hours and there will be 6 problems in each division. Last 4 problems of Div.2 will be same as first 4 problems of Div.1 . Problems are written by me (PrinceOfPersia) and tester's M.Mahdi.
The problems will be sorted according to the estimated order of difficulty according to my opinion but I strongly recommend you to read all of the problems.(sentence from matrix :D).
Problems are more Olympiad style than ACM. I hope you enjoy them.
It takes a while to prepare all problems. So, this contest is not in the gym contests list yet.
Oh, I almost forgot this : the main character of all problems will be my friend, De Prezer :)
UPD: Problems are designed for single participant (as mathlover said), so teams will participate out of competition too.
UPD2: It's in the gym contests list now.
UPD3: For making the contest more interesting, the winner of each division, gets a kiss ;)
UPD4: Round was delayed by 10 minutes for some technical reasons.
UPD5: Contest is over.
