Hello, Codeforces!

UTPC, the competitive programming organization at the University of Texas at Austin, is happy to invite you to participate in the first contest of the UTPC Spring contest season which will be held on Wednesday, January 29, 2025 at 6:00PM UTC-5 (CST).

You will be given 8 problems (roughly ordered by difficulty) and 2 hours to solve them, with standard ICPC scoring. There will be a wide range of difficulties -- anyone is welcome to participate! We have will two divisions, Div. 2 for beginners to competitive programming and Div. 1 for people with some experience. This is a team contest for teams with up to 3 members. This is (of course) not an official Codeforces round, and is thus unrated.

The problems were prepared and tested by bridgeminion, Daveeed, DylanSmith, fishy15, mwen, sg2themax, and tn757.

And also a huge thanks to speedycatfish for planning logistics! We would like to thank:

• evouga2, gpdowning, and Kuroni for being great resources and coaches for the UT Austin ICPC teams,

• Jane Street, our generous sponsor,

• MikeMirzayanov for the great platforms Codeforces and Polygon,

• and all of you, for participating!

Below are the links to the contests:

• Div. 1: TBA

• Div. 2: TBA

Good luck and have fun!
