Hello, and, again, you are invited to a monthly contest: [HackerEarth October Clash](https://www.hackerearth.com/october-clash-15/).↵
↵
The problemsetter this time is [user:RomaWhite,2015-10-14]; I'm the tester and editorialist. After all, I have to give [user:I_love_Tanya_Romanova,2015-10-14] a chance to compete! :D↵
↵
The contest takes place this weekend ([starting time](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=October%20Clash%20%2715&iso=2015-10-17T01:30:00&p1=64)) and runs for 24 hours. There should be 6 algorithmic problems with partial scoring (points are given independently for passing each test file) and 1 challenge problem. I think the problems are easier than last month, when two subtasks of one problem went unsolved by anyone.↵
↵
Good luck!↵
↵
Btw, round 1 of COCI overlaps with this Clash for 3 hours. That, of course, doesn't mean it's not possible to participate in both at the same time — [from my own](https://www.hackerearth.com/january-clash/hof/) [experience](http://hsin.hr/coci/archive/2014_2015/results.php?contest=5). It gets harder when trying to take part in all contests which take place tomorrow...↵
↵
UPD: Contest has started!↵
↵
**UPD2: It seems that (for whatever reason) I can't see comments on problems. If you have questions, you can also ask them here or message me.**
