Maybe I won't realize it, but dreaming is free, after all :)

Mabuhay!

I am honored to announce Codeforces Round #419. It will take place tomorrow, on June 17, 17:35 MSK.

The problems in this round are written by me, robinyu. I believe it is the first Codeforces round with a Philippine writer. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to kevinsogo, AlexFetisov and winger for their invaluable help in testing the problems, KAN for his endless patience and support in preparing the contest, and of course MikeMirzayanov for the absolutely amazing Codeforces and Polygon platforms.

In this round, you will be helping Karen in her day-to-day routine.

There will be pretty pictures, drawn by the lovely Kazenokaze. Do not miss the round!

Both divisions will be given five problems and will have two hours to solve them. Keeping with authentic Codeforces tradition, scoring will be announced right before the round.

As a matter of course, you are highly recommended to read all the problems; though problems are arranged by expected difficulty, you may find some problems easier than others.

I hope you will enjoy the problems as much as I did writing them!

The scoring for this round is:

Div. 1: 500 — 1250 — 1500 — 2250 — 2250
Div. 2: 500 — 1000 — 1500 — 2000 — 2750

Good luck, and I wish you all high ratings and bug-free code!

Update: Congratulations to all winners!

Special congratulations to Radewoosh for his second consecutive Div. 1 round victory, and to both him and yutaka1999 for solving all tasks!

Thanks for your patience. The editorial has been posted. Hope it was worth the wait!
