Thanks for providing daily mashups on the days when there are no ranked contests. It's great that you volunteered to take care of it and I see this as a real positive contribution to the community. Just some questions/suggestions:

  1. Is it possible to provide difficulties of all problems in the announcement? If somebody wants to skip easy problems, then it would be great to know where to start.
  2. After the mashup is over, is it possible to edit the announcement blog to provide links to the original problems? Yes, I know that anyone can just google problem names, but a bit of extra convenience would be useful.
  3. Is it possible to do something to reduce the probability of reusing problems from very recent ranked contests and also from very recent other mashups?
  4. And finally this may be a controversial suggestion, but I would prefer a little bit longer mashup duration (simulating Div.1+2 or Global contests timing rather than Div.2). More time means that more problems can be solved. Those who struggle, may have a better chance to solve at least something and boost their confidence. Everyone gets a longer training session.

    I appreciate that you approached!

    1. Yes, Definitely. (I have updated for this contest as well).

    2. Yeah, sure.

    3. As we also attempt codeforces officials rounds, that's why we always try to avoid including problems from recent contests.

    4. Sure, but as the frequency of div 2 contests are high that's why we try to align the timeframe according to this. Apart from this, we always allow practice mode so that participants can attempt these problems even after the contest is over.

    Again, thanks for your feedback!
