We invite you to participate in CodeChef’s January Long Challenge, starting this Saturday, 14th January, 8 PM IST onwards.

Please note, the contest is open for 2 days, i.e, from 14th — 16th January. The long Challenge will be rated for Div 3 & 4 coders.

Joining me on the problem setting panel are:

Written editorials will be available for all on discuss.codechef.com. Pro users can find the editorials directly on the problem pages after the contest.

The video editorials of the problems will be available for all users for 1 day as soon as the contest ends, after which they will be available only to Pro users.

Also, if you have some original and engaging problem ideas, and you’re interested in them being used in CodeChef's contests, you can share them here.

Hope to see you participating. Good Luck!

Utkarsh.25dec why nowadays codechef translate the problmes? In the first of 2021 the problems were translated in different languages! Nut what's wrong now? And another question? Why nowadays codechef don't give laddu after contest?

    Regarding translating the problems

    Maybe the step was taken due to cost cutting combined with the fact that not enough people were going through the translated statements.

    Regarding laddu

    I think it was stopped once Codechef started giving Amazon vouchers to top rankers in each contest. Although it also stopped because of cost cutting.

    So answer to both questions is cost-cutting to sustain the platform during recession times.

CheatChef. Since your platform is notorious with cheaters so a long challenge would *** rating. I'd prefer doing short rounds 3h
