Is it possible to add more than one model solution for a single problem?

Here's my situation: my problem has two subtasks, and each subtask expects a different answer — for example, one subtask asks for the minimum value and the other asks for the maximum. So I need one model solution that covers the first subtask's test cases, and a separate one for the second subtask.

Is there a way to handle this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Codeforces’ annual joke event is fun and creative, and many of us enjoy it.

However, the confirmation asking users to affirm that “Santa Claus is real” can be uncomfortable for people whose religious beliefs don’t allow affirming such statements, even as a joke.

A neutral confirmation would let everyone participate with ease and respect.

In our last contest, we saw that every problem had a nice visualizer. That really helped a lot. We would love to have more of those.
