Selamat pagi Codeforces!

We're going to hold The 2024 ICPC Asia Jakarta Regional Contest.

We invite you to join the online mirror contest 2024-2025 ICPC, Asia Jakarta Regional Contest (Online Mirror, Unrated, ICPC Rules, Teams Preferred) on Codeforces. It'll be held on Dec/01/2024 08:05 (Moscow time) and will last for 5 hours.

The mirror will be held using ICPC-style scoring with 10 to 13 problems. The problem statements will only be available in English. We encourage participating as a team using only one computer for coding (as in ICPC contests). The mirror will be unrated.

Some useful links:

We hope that you'll enjoy the contest. Good luck and have fun!

UPD. The mirror has ended! You can find the editorial here. The onsite scoreboard will be unfrozen after the closing ceremony. Thank you for participating and we hope that you enjoyed the problemset!

UPD2. Mistake in Problem D. Aquatic Dragon

The act of activating a shrine is supposed to be mandatory once you reach an island instead of being optional. During contest preparation, the initial problem had a statement that implies the aforementioned obligation of shrine activation, which the judges had a correct solution for (the one in the editorial). However, when rewriting the problem statement for more clarity with adjustments to the story, we ended up making it such that it's optional, without too much thought about it, thinking it's essentially still the same problem. Unfortunately, as we have recently found out after the contest, it's in fact not the same problem.

The action we're taking now is fixing the statement of the problem after the contest with the correct intended version without changing the judges' solution. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello Codeforces community,

We are excited to invite you to TOKI Indonesian NOI Open Contest 2024 — an online mirror contest for the Indonesian National Olympiad in Informatics 2024. This national olympiad is one of the stages required for our students to qualify to represent Indonesia in the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) 2025. You may have seen our past open olympiads (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023), and you can check our past problems here.

The contest is similar to IOI: 2 contest days (+ 1 trial session), each consisting of 3 IOI-style (partial, subtasks) problems to be solved in 5 hours. The schedule is as follows:

Each contestant can select any 5-hour window (2-hour for Day 0) within the time range to do the contest for each contest day. The 5-hour timer starts by clicking the "start" button within the contest duration, and no additional time is given if a contestant starts the contest less than 5 hours before the contest ends. The scoreboard will be hidden until the contest has ended.

All three contests are now available on TLX. Please register in those contests. You may need to register for a TLX account if you do not have one. For more detailed information and rules, see our official website.

See you on the leaderboard!

UPD: The open contest windows are over!

You can view the scoreboard for the open contest here. Upsolving and the editorials will be available once the final results of the official contest is announced.
