Hello, Codeforces community!

I'm glad to invite you to Codeforces Round #758 (Div.1 + Div. 2), which will be held on Dec/11/2021 13:05 (Moscow time). The round will be rated for both divisions. Note the unusual start time.

The problems were taken (mostly) from the ByteDance — Moscow Workshops Online Contest, which is happening at the same time. Tasks from the Online Contest are prepared by TadijaSebez and oversolver, additional tasks brought to you by Um_nik and gen. We are very thankful to the testers: Monogon, 74TrAkToR, AmShZ, DeadlyCritic, errorgorn, oolimry and icypiggy for their time and great feedback. Also big thanks to authors of other problems of the Online Contest snarknews and teraqqq for cooperation, Bytedance instructors jqdai0815, Syloviaely, Gromah, Claris for testing and reviewing the Bytedance online contest, the contest coordinator antontrygubO_o for the great help in setting up that round and MikeMirzayanov for testlib.h, Polygon and Codeforces.

ByteDance is a global technology company operating a range of platforms that allow people across languages, cultures, and geographies to create, discover and connect. ByteDance has partnered with Moscow Workshops and Codeforces to organize a top-tier and exclusive training camp for the International Collegiate Programming Contest. The upcoming Programming Camp will be held in Beijing from February 17th to 23th, 2022.

ByteDance — Moscow Workshops Online Contest is an opportunity to participate as teams onsite in this camp. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, mainly teams from China can participate onsite this year. For the international teams, the opportunity of online participation is considered.

You can find more information about this training camp at https://programcamp.bytedance.com/.

Hello, Codeforces!

Microsoft Development Center Serbia is thrilled to announce the finals of the 14th edition of Bubble Cup competition! Bubble Cup is an international, ICPC-style team contest aimed at university and high school students.

Contest will take place on Saturday, 9th of October at 10AM CEST, in online format. Winners will be announced at the closing ceremony. You can find more info on the BubbleCup website.

Just like the previous editions, this final will be followed by an online mirror competition on Codeforces. Mirror will take place on the same day about an hour after the start of the finals — Oct/09/2021 12:05 (Moscow time). Contest will last for 4 hours and ICPC rules will be applied. It will be a competition for teams of 1-3 members. There will be at least eight problems.

Just like last year, the finals are divided in two "divisions", called Premier League and Rising Stars. The two contests will have most of their problems in common, but the Rising Stars competition will feature some easier tasks targeted at high school contestants.

Both of the contests will be mirrored here on Codeforces, with Premier League mapping to the Div1 contest and Rising Stars mapping to the Div2 contest. The mirror will use native Codeforces ICPC team contest rules. Each team is allowed to use multiple computers.

Both contests will be unrated, due to the format and the length of the mirror being dissimilar to the standard Codeforces rated rounds.

The problems and their solutions were created by employees and interns of Microsoft Development Center Serbia: niksmiljkovic, acac97, renea, BubbleCup, nikolapesic2802, berke00, davidmilicevic97, ijevtic, dj0l3, igzi, Kole, Vasiljko, pavlej and me TadijaSebez.

We give our thanks to Nikolay Kalinin (KAN) and Mike Mirzayanov (MikeMirzayanov) for making these mirror contests possible and for the wonderful Codeforces and Polygon platforms. Special thanks goes to Alexandr Lyashko (knightL) for helping out with problem testing.
