I think you mistakenly released the editorial. Anyway, I will be honest and open the editorial only when the contest ends.
Fixed,thx
Link of Contests' archive in the blog is wrong. This is link of Contests' archive.

As a tester, I can ensure that the problems are awesome and you will enjoy solving them!
Read the problem statement carefully
As a tester, I forgot to write As a tester comment earlier
Why don't you set a regular CF round?
Will come in the next few months :)
really excited for that...
As a tester, i have changed this comment (iykyk)
Why ad-hoc-Forces changed to 2^4-Forces?
Because problemset is changed lol
Did you prepare 6 new problems in a day?
Just 1 problem replaced lol
You changed name of contest just for 1 problem lol
Well there's a reason for that, see yourself in that contest lol
lol
$$$2^{2^2}$$$-Forces
Just curious, why this round doesn't like previous rounds that shows up in the gym contests list? That would be much easier to find.

will the problems be sorted by difficulty?
Reminder, contest start in 30 minutes!
The 4th sample of problem F: $$$9\underline{69096}909 - 996\underline{069909} - 9966\underline{0669}0 - 99\underline{666}9900 - 999999900$$$
Is this sequence correct? If so, the author solution is wrong
I guess your idea is correct. I am trying to contact wuhudsm, but unfortunately, it is now 2 am (or 3 am? i'm not sure) in his time zone, so it may have to wait at least 6 hours to resolve this issue.
AHAHAHA, as always.
for problem c, what's the point of having y="0", when you said y won't have leading zeros? 0 has leading zeros!
Truly, A WA pretest 2 round :( like the spoiler describes.
Good problems. Don’t have any idea of F though.
Can you give any hint for E?
Editorial when?
