Good evening, Codeforces.

Today I've added the first five contest of the famous Andrew Stankevich Contest series. They are available for virtual participation and practice.

I competed in several Andrew Stankevich Contests and I can say that these contests are always well prepared and consist of extremely interesting problems. You can really enjoy taking part in them.

Good luck and have fun.

P.S. All contests are available in Andrew Stankevich Contests group.

Direct links

Please note that all problems uses different input and output files. You can find correct input/output file names at the contest dashboard and in the statements.

I think there are some bug in tests of the first contest. It's my submission on problem D of this contest: 3768052

at least for the first test it's ok, isn't it?

Is there any chance that Petr Mitrichev contests from Petrozavodsk Training Camp could also appear? I have seen some at SGU, but I think not all of them.

It would be great if we could view others code in gym, at least after participating in gym.

Are there any editorials available for Andrew Stankevich Contest? Thanks for adding them in gym by the way.

    Actually you can see others' code after you become yellow and apply coach mode. So it is kind of stimulus to get higher rating ;)

        Go to gym, and in the bottom of the column on the right side of the screen you can see the button "Enable coach mode".

          I can't find such button :(. Are you sure that it's available for yellow coders?

            Quote from here: http://codeforces.net/blog/entry/6615?locale=en

            "Now not only the red coders can become coaches. The coders with a yellow handle are now accepted as well, provided that they have taken part in an official Codeforces round no earlier than 6 months ago and have taken part in at least 30 rated Codeforces contests."

            So, there are some extra restrictions as well. Sorry if I confused you with my previous comments.

Hi, I made few submissions to ASC 1 but all of them stuck on 'In queue' status, after 30 minutes or so they turn to 'Running on test 1' and after some 30 minutes more to 'Judgement failed'.

    The same here, 2 submissions are in the queue, seems codeforces is overloaded.

Thank you very much for uploading these contests, I would give you many more upvotes than 1 if I could. I think this is the best possible source for team trainings. Quality of problems is very high, they are very interesting and well prepared :).

I had participated in the last two contests, I really like them.

The problems are really interesting but hard enough for my current level, I could solve only 1 problem in my both participations.

I think it could be very useful for many people if we can find ideas and solutions for this problems.

What about to open a post for each contest and make a semi-editorial together?

Hi, I am wondering how to submit code for these contests. I keep getting runtime error on test1. I believe something is wrong with the way I submit code since my code passes for other online judges with the same problem. I read from stdin and output to stdout.

    You are submitting solution to ASC1, where you should use files for input and output (you can see proper file names at list of problems), but you are using standard input/output streams instead of files — and that is why you can't pass even 1st test.

I have submitted some solutions in ASC 1, and they are in queue for 20 minutes or so, and still not processed at the time of writing this. Also, in gym (in coach mode even), solutions submitted by other contest managers(shown on top of standings) are not view-able by double-clicking that cell. Is this some bug or feature?

Coach mode is not working for all of the ASCs. As soon as I open the ASC, coach mode automatically gets disabled.

Is it only me or someone else facing the same problem? MikeMirzayanov Can you please look into the problem?

    I just tried. And yes, I faced the same things as you did.

    Coach mode was automatically disabled. You may now enter the contest.

    This message appears at the right-down corner, and coach mode is disabled as it reads.

    Maybe it is because some tasks from ASC are used in acm.sgu.ru archive

      UPD: The bug is still not fixed. :( It would really help if coach mode is enabled for these contests as they are a great resource to learn.

      MikeMirzayanov Can you look into it?

        It is not a bug at all, it is because these contests are in a group, and when you're in a group, there is no coach mode. Only the owner of the group can see the testcase data.

Can anyone provide a link to the editorials of these problems (any language would work owing to google translate) ?

Without editorials, I don't think any problems are worth trying. From where would I or anyone else who got stuck in any problem is going to get any help ??
