As a coordinator, I assure you this is not a convoluted scheme to get the top contributor spot back by doing almost nothing.

    As the gym poster, I assure you this is definitely a convoluted scheme to post more contests in the gym that I'm not actually the author of.

    If the contribution points were displayed to 2 decimal places it would be nice. The table looks the same otherwise almost all the time.

As a tester, I found the problemset to be well balanced and I'm confident that there are some problems that even higher rated participants will enjoy! I recommend everyone to participate.

    First of all thanks to everyone involved for making it happen. I really enjoyed the last 2 unofficial Div 4 rounds, so looking forward to this.

    But if problems are interesting and vouched for by experienced folks around here, why not make it official?

      Can't say for sure as I'm not the co-ordinator, but I guess Codeforces isn't going with the idea of conducting Div. 4 rounds for now.

      But I think it's a great for beginners, so I hope more of these unofficial rounds will follow.

        Ohh yes! I will try my best to attend.

        Hope it's not too rude to rag coordinators Ashishgup and Monogon to know their opinion?

        UPD: Everyone downvoting this will lose their rating in next contest that is rated for them.

          I am done being polite. No one here deserves that. Everyone is a jerk and just wants to downvote all the time.

          So come at me losers! Let the downvote party begin!

Thanks for the round! I liked the problems, and F was definitely a bit tricky!

I've uploaded a screencast to my YouTube, which I'll premiere 10 minutes after the end of the contest: https://youtu.be/TXgrIwhC750

(This is my first time trying out the "Premiere" feature, which I believe lets everyone watch & chat live.)

Out of all the problems E was the only one I had solved earlier and then also I struggled a lot with it.

A was garbage.

    Let x is a number. To get a smaller number than this we can take binary representation of x and replace some(possibly one) 1 with 0. Now, you are given two number a and b and you have to find two number less than a or less than b.

    Take binary representation of both a and b. Now if you find some position where bit of a and b both are 1 then replace any 1 with 0 and you will get the number.

    This process will work because when you are performing bitwise xor 1 xor 1 will give you 0 and 1 xor 0 will give you 1. So replacing 1 with 0 will give you larger xor output.

    Since you are replacing 1 with 0 so you will get a smaller number which follows the conditions.
