By nor, 3 years ago, In English

Hi Codeforces!

The round will be unrated for all participants. It will be held according to modified ICPC rules.

All problems in this round were written and prepared by dorijanlendvaj, errorgorn, Ari, nor and ToxicPie9. We have worked on this round for quite a short time and hope you find every problem so easy that even your five year old sibling could solve it interesting.

This round is sponsored by errorgorn and Ari with the following prizes:

  • 1st place: 10 lakh VEF
  • 2nd place: 20 lakh VEF
  • 3rd place: 30 lakh VEF
  • 8th place: A steam copy of "Sakuya Izayoi Gives You Advice And Dabs"

We would like to thank:

  • No one for marvellous coordination of the round.
  • errorgorn for being a VIP tester, who liked the problems enough to sponsor the round prizes of 60 lakh VEF.
  • Ari for sponsoring the 8th place prize.
  • MikeMirzayanov for the amazing Codeforces and Polygon platforms!
  • You for participating and upvoting.

Good luck and have fun! See you in the standings. Make sure to read the statements and conversion rate very carefully.

    Sadly, it would be very hard for us to reschedule this round at this point (due to prior commitments for authors, who need to be available in contest to answer contestant queries, and rescheduling it to an earlier time will introduce the possibility of some people missing this round). We still welcome you to participate in this round, which is intentionally meant to be easy enough for a complete beginner to programming, so you could expect a quick AK before participating in the other contest. Also, this round has prizes. :)
