Whether or not you went to the ICPC WF 2023 in Luxor, you might remember us from the Indomie trade offer blog a while back.

Aside from my team (rfpermen, me, vioalbert, and siplusplus as coach) in the previous blog, of course our university's team for the 46th WF (Owmicron, ZeroScar, KerakTelor, and Yoshiyuki as coach) also joined us in many of our activities, including finding people to trade and/or give the two boxes of Indomie we brought to Luxor.

In this blog, I'd like to share some of the pictures we (Jollybee, the CP team in our university) took with others during the WF.

UPD: There were several issues with the images; they weren't loading properly. The images are now hosted on ImgBB.

Signed T-Shirts

After doing something similar when I was participating in IOI 2022, I suggested to the others several months ago that we should bring white T-shirts and some markers to WF for people to sign on. siplusplus then bought some clothes markers and printed a bunch of T-shirts with the ICPC logo on it (yes, a bunch of people thought it was an official T-shirt), one for each person. Only two of them were actually used:

T-Shirts

Thanks to everyone who signed the shirts – you will forever be remembered in Jollybee's lab, where the shirts will be hung ;)

We also took a bunch of photos!

And of course, thank you to MikeMirzayanov for the great Codeforces and Polygon platforms:

Finally, here is a picture of us with some fellow Indonesians – Berted, Morphymorphymorphy, and steven.novaryo – during the closing ceremony:

And here's a picture of me playing Luxor (the video game) at the Luxor airport:

Of course, if we asked you to take a picture together, you'd have a pack of Indomie from us, which you might or might not have eaten. Has anyone tried cooking it – and did it taste good?

Despite the fact that a lot of unexpected things happened during the WF, and that the problems weren't exactly our strong suit, I'm very grateful that this WF gave us the chance to meet up with the community. Thanks to everyone who made this happen, and I hope we can meet again in other events in the near future!

The API documentation on blogEntry.view mentions that it returns a BlogEntry object in full version (which includes the content field, unlike the short version). However, when I perform an API request to this method, it seems like it returns the short version of the BlogEntry object with no content field.

Was the removal of this feature intentional, or was it a bug? Are there any other ways to get the content of a blog aside from using this method?

Any help from MikeMirzayanov or others would be greatly appreciated.
