In this round, you will learn more about Evirir the dragon and help (or stop) them as they wreak havoc and escape from a wizard.

You will solve $$$6$$$ problems in $$$2$$$ hours.

The score distribution will be added later.

There will be at least one interactive problem, so please read the guide for interactive problems if you are unfamiliar with them.

We would like to thank everyone who made this round possible:

• Kaey for coordinating the round, coming up with ideas and solutions, and helping with preparation;

• A_G, Alpha_Q, Darkeld, ducksaysquack, franv, JOliva, LMeyling, MASTERB4APRIL, shaili17, Tainel, and whiitex for testing our round and providing useful feedback, praises, and flames;

• MikeMirzayanov for the amazing Codeforces and Polygon platforms that support contests beyond Codeforces contests.

Fun fact: As far as we know, this is the first round by Malaysians since 2020 (last being Codeforces Global Round 10)!
