Gamarjoba, Codeforces!
On Feb/06/2024 17:45 (Moscow time) will start Codeforces Round 923 (Div. 3), the next Codeforces round for the Div.3.
Lately, I've been coming up with problem ideas less frequently, but I don't want to lose this skill. Welcome to the round where all problems are my own creation! I hope you'll enjoy them.
A huge thank you to Vladosiya for preparing the majority of problems in Polygon. Also, thanks to pashka and KAN for helping with the discussion of problem ideas.
Thank you very much 74TrAkToR, CLown1331, EternalAlexander, Jostic11, Killever, KoT_OsKaR, LoveWX, MADE_IN_HEAVEN, dan_dolmatov, jnmtz111__, pedrolino, theRealChainman, yorky for testing the round.
As usual for the Div.3 rounds:
- There will be 6-8 tasks in a round.
- The round duration is 2 hours and 15 minutes.
- The round follows the ICPC rules, with a penalty for an incorrect submission being 10 minutes.
- The round is rated for participants with ratings up to 1600.
- After the round, there will be a 12-hour open hacking phase.
Remember that only the trusted participants of the Div.3 will be included in the official standings table. As it is written in the link, this is a compulsory measure to combat unsporting behavior. To qualify as a trusted participant of the third division, you must:
- Participate in at least five rated rounds (and solve at least one problem in each of them).
- Not have a rating of 1900 or higher.
Regardless of whether you are a trusted participant of the third division or not, if your rating is less than 1600, then the round will be rated for you.
Good luck to all!
I really like it when the round announcement includes a photo of the authors. I plan to add one if I can take a suitable photo.
UPD 1: I found great burgers in Tbilisi!
