Hello CodeForces Community,

In the recently concluded SnackDown Pre-Elimination Round A, we have seen participation from over 9K teams. In total, 1469 teams who were under top 1000 ranks in the Pre-Elimination Round A have been moved to the Elimination Round and we are now ready for the Pre-Elimination Round B. The qualified teams will not be participating in the Pre-Elimination Round B. Rest of the teams who couldn't make it to Elimination Round can compete in Pre-Elimination Round B to make their way to the Elimination Round.

Joining me and arjunarul (Arjun Arul) on the problem setting panel, we have kingofnumbers (Hasan Jaddouh) as tester. The rest of the panel members include:

  • Russian Translator: CherryTree (Sergey Kulik)
  • Mandarin Translator: huzecong (Hu Zecong)
  • Vietnamese translators: VNOI team
  • Editorialist: sidhant (Siddhant Bansal)

Given below are the details of the contest.

We hope you will enjoy the problems and we welcome your feedback in the comments below.

Will there be some kind of mirror for this round ? I remember SnackDown16 had a round B replay.

Humble request: Please run a mirror contest sideways for the already qualified teams. It's so much much fun to compete with time bound rather than solving the problems later.

When I try to submit on one of the problems (SNELECT), I get a "405 Not Allowed error". Did I do something wrong?

How did I get a negative time stamp for a problem I got AC on just now...? My score still shows up as 3. Is something wrong?

    In previous round it happened to me when I accepted the solution but before the "The information will be updated in X seconds" timer went to 0. I suppose they refresh the data less often to decrease the load. After the timer went to 0, the score and time stamp were correct.
