Hello, Codeforces!
The 17th Zhejiang Provincial Collegiate Programming Contest has ended on October 17. The contest was originally scheduled for April 2020 but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was eventually decided to hold the contest online in October.
The problems for this contest were prepared by retired ICPC team members of Zhejiang University, and I was the coordinator of the problem-setting group. We are glad to announce that we have published the contest, The 17th Zhejiang Provincial Collegiate Programming Contest, in Codeforces::Gym for you to practice. Feel free to start virtual participation or to solve the problems individually. For virtual participation, the contest is 5 hours in length and follows usual ICPC rules. Team participation is recommended, but it is also possible to participate individually. The ghosts of the onsite participants are available, you may take advantage of it.
My thanks go to:
Hangzhou Normal University and Zhejiang University, for co-hosting the contest.
Problem authors: Claris, lsmll, jiangshibiao, shb123, reku, lqybzx, MudCoal, and Sugar_fan.
