This is a joke competition in which solving the problem is often easier than figuring out what the actual task is.

It's the extreme of those hard-to-comprehend problem statements.

Will the editorials be posted ?

Pretty much every recent contest has started to feel like a joke contest now, so this joke contest is more like just another normal contest. So I don't see why it should be unrated.

I think this is going to be fun :D

It's my first April Fools Contest in Codeforces. I think it'll be interesting and meaningful (to me). Just wish me (and everyone) good luck and have fun!

What if you don’t have a sense of humor?

April Fool's joke:

Us: Yes!!, unrated contest.

CodeForces: April Fool's, it's rated.

Us: rating drops

CodeForces: Just kidding... :P

Seems interesting, very much looking forward to it.

Excited for the contest in this QUARANTINE...

Is it fair to call the winner a fool ?

Why it will be unrated ?

plot twist : contest will be rated Nickolas is a paid actor

Waiting for another one OEIS task.

Will each problems have the same points? What will be the difficulty level of each problem? Same or Different?

I hope there are no problems with solutions based on references specific to the problem setter of the contest. (like this one — https://codeforces.net/contest/1145/problem/C)

I think the problems should be solve-able for all users irrespective of whether they follow specific other users or not. Science/math trivia and general movie/pop-culture references are fine, and would allow a greater number of users to attempt the problems.

This quarantine it feels good to be fooled.At least something is happening.

One of the best chances to rank over reds :p

I'm waiting for the memes based on the disasters happened in 2020 so far

One of the most funniest contests.

your wish of "short statement" will be fulfilled here.. for sure!

Hoping for a mind refreshing and entertaining contest with a lot of humorous content in this Quarantine Times!!!

PS: For the first time I am going to give a contest with my family!!

Boys often don't understand the humor in girls. Then What?

If "unrated" is a joke XD

No April Fools Day Contest in 2015?????

When someone tells you after the contest that has been rated.

BREAKING NEWS: AtCoder and CodeForces are now working together and will share the system as of today.

I hope those problems don't make me go bald hahaha

Le output format : The correct spelling for school is school, if you put the second 'o' before the first 'o' it is absolutely wrong.

There will be no contest...It’s all a joke and I’m not gonna fall for it.

wish have a nice contest today

We need a round based on dank memes.

lets post all the solutions here after getting AC :D

Can I participate with my team?__

Is contest rated?

Theres no questions. Was that the joke ?

I was thinking in which categories does these question falls ?

hope all contests have problem statement concise like this one

Is it rated? Can someone hint over this?

NULL

Multum gaudebamus fuit!

tourist got the 1st like usual even though this is just a joke round, insane!

How on earth is tourist first in this contest too

Never have I been so curious to know the solutions. Can't sleep without the editorial.

tourist: Rated, unrated; I am inevitable.

Everyone who attempted A got it correct, this the first time that I have seen it happen.

I had to check from tourist's submissions page, to check whether he actually submitted the problems, or we were being fooled by CF. LOL! xD

SOLUTION FOR E

First: fill area in photoshop

Second: Do 2d dimension arr. Check pixel at (i*15)+5 (g*15)+5. If it's white, put 0 in arr else put 1; Save that arr in file for use it in final solution. I picked Node.JS for this step.

var fs = require("fs");
var Canvas = require("canvas");

let fileLink = "smile.png";
var canvas = new Canvas.Canvas(960, 960, "png");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

const Image = Canvas.Image;
var image = new Image(963,964);
dataArr = [];
image.onload = function () {
    ctx.drawImage(image,-2,-2,963,964);
    for (let i = 0; i < 64; i++){
        let newStr = [];
        for (let g = 0; g < 64; g++){
            var p = ctx.getImageData((g*15)+4, (i*15)+4, 1, 1).data;
            if (p[2] < 240){
                newStr.push(0)
            } else {
                newStr.push(1)
            }
        }
        dataArr.push(newStr)
    }
    fs.writeFileSync("DATAOUT.txt",JSON.stringify(dataArr))
};

image.src = fileLink;

Final solution: just get row and col and check arr[row][col] if it's 0 print "OUT" else print "IN"

When will we receive the editorials? :P

How do I solve F?

H is awful and awesome at same time

First (and for sure last) time I solved 7 problems lol.

)

What are the solutions?

How to solve F?

Was this part of April fool's suprise? I couldn't even find the submit button XDD

// For some moment I REALLY thought it was some kind of penalty for submitting too many WAs

Having a picture with coordinates may help you solve E problem （做了一张有坐标的图片，可能会帮助你解答E题）

I am stupid, how to solve C?
