Hello Codeforces!

I would like to invite you to take part in HackerEarth's May Easy '23! It will be held on Saturday, Saturday, May 6, 2023 at 9:30 AM IST.

The problems were written and tested by me (Dhanraj coderdhanraj Chaurasia), Pawankumar EulerTour Nandagiri, Devanshul SilverWing05 Saraswat, Akshit strange14 Garg, Rohit rohit_768_ Pradhan and Suchit Atlas K.

Also, many thanks to Ujjwal ujjwald7 Dwivedi for coordinating the contest.

You will be given 6 algorithmic problems to solve in 3 hours. Partial scoring will be used (i.e. you get points for passing each test case).

Although the contest is targeted toward beginners, we hope that everyone finds the tasks interesting. The contest is rated for all and the prizes will be awarded to the top 3 beginners (i.e. participants with a rating less than 1600 before the challenge starts):

• First place: $75 Amazon gift card.
• Second place: $50 Amazon gift card.
• Third place: $25 Amazon gift card.

Good luck everyone, and feel free to discuss the problems here when the contest ends.
