Would you post an editorial(probably as a codeforces blog) after the contest?
Would the test cases be made public in Hackerrank after the contest?
More detail about prize distribution? How much does rank 1 gets, and how much do rank 2 and 3 get?

Any info about the difficulty of the round? Would difficulty be like a div2 round or div3/div4 round?

So many issues, please test the things before the start of the contest How do you expect us to solve biology questions without giving the technical details of the question? Some ambiguous problem statements Also the constraints were incomplete Now there is a 404 error

        I am not asking for solution of the problems. I am not able to understand the problem itself.
