Hello Codeforces!

I am glad to invite you to Codeforces Round 986 (Div. 2), which will start on Nov/10/2024 18:35 (Moscow time). Note the slightly unusual start time.

The contest will run for 2 hours and have 6 tasks. The contest will only be rated for those with a rating not higher than 2099, but we welcome higher rated users to participate out of competition.

Holding the contest would have been impossible without:

• flamestorm for insanely excellent coordination, without whom this round would certainly not happen.
• Vince729 and swagchicken for lots of discussions about the problems and proposing other problem ideas :)
• conqueror_of_tourist, BucketPotato, Dominater069, sstrong, triple__a, xiaowuc1, lucasxia01, n0sk1ll, nikilrselvam, thanhchauns2, AkiLotus, bibimoni, CSQ31, mp1309, Non-origination, Qualified, redpanda, dazlersan1, fatant for testing and giving a ton of useful feedback!
• MikeMirzayanov for the wonderful Codeforces and Polygon platforms.

and of course a special thank you to all of you for participating!

Score Distribution: $$$500-1000-1500-1750-2000-2500$$$.
