Hello again Codeforces!

We are excited to invite you to the mirror contest of the VNOI Cup 2024 Final Round! Join us on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at 12:00 AM GMT+7 and try our fun, yet challenging problems as the finalists!

VNOI Cup is a Competitive Programming competition hosted by VNOI (Vietnam Olympiads in Informatics community), a group of Vietnamese programmers like you, working together to make programming competitions more fun and challenging in Vietnam. We're a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the growth of competitive programming in Vietnam. This competition is one of the many ways we aim to achieve this goal!

Again, a big shoutout to our awesome problem setters and testers! Thanks to their hard work, we have an exciting contest ready for you.

• xuanquang1999, atoiz, vinfat, JettyOller, Lihwy, BJoozz, darkkcyan, TrungNotChung, lanhf, MofK, Kuroni, Lomk for making the problems!
• errorgorn, awoo, ToxicPie9, Adam_GS, KIRIJIJI, I_love_Hoang_Yen, shash4321, and McPqndq for testing and providing valuable feedback!

The contest will feature 7 to 10 problems to be solved in 5 hours. Points for problems increase with difficulty. Each problem may consist of multiple subtasks, and you only earn points for a subtask if you pass all test cases for that subtask. Penalty points are calculated as the time of the last scoring submission plus 5 minutes for each incorrect submission. Contestants are ranked by total points, with ties broken by ascending penalty points.

Remember, the mirror contest starts on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at 12:00 AM GMT+7.
