Hello Codeforces community,

I would like to invite you to join HackerEarth's June Easy '18 which will start at 16:30 UTC, June 1, 2018.

The problems are prepared by jugnu and me and tested by trytolearn and akulsareen. I hope you'll find the problemset to be interesting.

You will be given 6 algorithmic problems to solve in 3 hours. Partial scoring will be used (you get points for passing each test case). Although the contest is targeted towards beginners, we hope even experienced problem-solvers find one or two problems to be interesting. The contest is rated and prizes will be awarded to the top 3 beginners(i.e. programmers with a rating of 1600 or less before the challenge starts).

Good luck & have fun!

Update-1: The contest starts in 10 minutes. Good luck to everyone :)

Update-2: Contest is over and editorial is up. Thanks to all the participants. Feedback about the problem set is welcome :)

Hello Codeforces community,

I would like to invite you to join HackerRank's 101 Hack 53 which will start at 1500 UTC, March 2, 2018.

There will be five tasks and three hours for you to solve them. The contest will be rated and the top ten contestants will receive HackerRank T-shirts! The problems are prepared by jugnu and me and tested by kevinsogo and qoo2p5. I hope you'll find the problemset to be interesting.

I would like to thank kevinsogo for his assistance in the preparation of the contest and an excellent platform polygon, which greatly simplifies the preparation of the problems.

I suggest you to read all the problems since there are subtasks and partial scoring.

Happy Coding & H A P P Y - H O L I !

Update-1: The contest starts in 1 hour and 30 minutes. Good luck to everyone :)
