The June Cook-off on www.codechef.com
By Anton_Lunyov, 14 years ago, translation, In English

I invite all you guys to participate in the June short contest on CodeChef.
Contest will start at Sunday June 19, at 20:00 MSK and continue for 2,5 hours.
This time I am the problem-setter.
It is my third short contest on CodeChef.
I was the problem-setter in January and in March this year.
The contest will consist of 5 problems of varying difficulty.
Top 10 performers will receive prizes from organizers.

In order to participate in the contest you just need to register on www.codechef.com and wait for the beginning.

Can you ask organizers to assign points to problem that shows there level of difficulty as they are assigned in Topcoder and Codeforces ?

I think it would be better and no of participants will also increase significantly that way.

    I think that nowadays the codechef's system is more funny :)
    by the way, codechef's rules are close to acm, where we can't see the points of difficulty of the problem at the beginning of the contest

    CF and TC has completely different rules. This contest has usual ACM format. It is part of the contest to find easy problems quickly. So it is better not to do this.

I really love CC's Long constests, because Im not fast thinker. So it would be helpful for me if tasks were sorted on Short ones. But if that is part of contest, that's fine, tasks are random for everyone  ...
