Hello Cowodeforces :D
vgoofficial, Lilypad and I are very 
to invite you to participate in Codeforces Round 993 (Div. 4), which will start on Dec/15/2024 17:35 (Moscow time). There will be $$$8$$$ problems, with one split into two subtasks, to be solved in $$$2$$$ hours and $$$15$$$ minutes. Participate or you'll have to wait another millennium for a Div. 4 round.
The format of the event will be identical to Div. 3 rounds:
- ICPC rules with a penalty of 10 minutes for an incorrect submission;
- 12-hour phase of open hacks after the end of the round (hacks do not give additional points)
- after the end of the open hacking phase, all solutions will be tested on the updated set of tests, and the ratings recalculated
- by default, only "trusted" participants are shown in the results table (but the rating will be recalculated for all with initial ratings less than 1400 or you are an unrated participant/newcomer).
We urge participants whose rating is 1400+ not to register new accounts for the purpose of narcissism but to take part unofficially. Please do not spoil the contest for the official participants.
Only trusted participants of the fourth division will be included in the official standings table. This is a forced measure for combating unsporting behavior. To qualify as a trusted participant of the fourth division, you must:
- take part in at least five rated rounds (and solve at least one problem in each of them),
- do not have a point of 1400 or higher in the rating.
Regardless of whether you are a trusted participant of the fourth division or not, if your rating is less than 1400 (or you are a newcomer/unrated), you may choose to participate rated or unrated.
We want to express overwhelming gratitude to the following orzosities for making the contest possible:

As a participant, I hope there are no problems based on Honkai: Star Rail.
How can I become a testuwuer?
You can message me to be considered, but I usually only accept / reply to people that seem active, promising, and honest on a variety of factors.
I think I know what is drawn on that picture. It's Gekko's moshpit on budget.
But I think you need to shut the fck up and stop cheating

As a tester, I can confirm that there will be eight problems, with one split into two subtasks, to be solved in 2 hours and 15 minutes.

what is point of div4 when ChatGPT exists at this point?
I know, I know rule exists however you know
I don't know why we still have this kind of comment every time. It's about general perception: if we all agree that we must not use AIs during contests, then we just simply need to ignore those who use AIs and don't give credits to them. It's up to the admins how much they can actually catch the cheaters, and there's not much we can do about it. We do contests for our own good, not to perform better than AIs.
to let those who don't use gpt improve.
As a tester, the problems are very skibidi
