As a tester, I can confirm that I was april fooled by those problems in advance.
I can confirm that these are the most foolish problems I have ever seen!

As a fool, I hope that problems fool me, so that the foolishness cancels... or maybe multiplies.
As a problemsetter, I hope you will enjoy the round :D
As a tester, I wish that you would participate...

Is it rated?
Being a CodeForces Gym contest, it won't be rated.
Although it is not a codeforces official round, but we have our own rating system! https://theforces.netlify.app/ratings
It turns out to be a good idea to read comments from the organizers before the round. :)
Thanks for all the cool problems!
Good luck to everybody! This contest will surely be interesting
First fool — contest start :)
Spent some time on B because I was misled by Amir_Parsa's rating. Just curious, was this coincidence intentional?
Lol, We didn't even notice that
Nice Coincidence Amir_Parsa orz
https://codeforces.me/gym/105062/problem/D is its output always "256" ????? but why it gives wrong?
Ans for 4 is 255, 6 is 512, rest 256
can u explain the reason? why for n = 4 output is 255?
see the memory limit
oky
No For first 3 only
nooo
for n == 1 || n ==2 || n==3 || n== 5 output 256
What was the Solution to B
It was my problem see https://theforces.netlify.app/ratings
Where is the solution?
See the ratings and testcases and samples
It is the rating of the top coders
if(n==1) cout << 2140 ; else if(n==2) cout << 2122 ; else if(n==3) cout << 1954 ; else if(n==4) cout << 1953 ; else if(n==5) cout << 1942 ; else if(n==6) cout << 1853 ; else if(n==7) cout << 1851 ; else cout << 1831 ;
Congrats there's no prize because it's april fools contest.
