Hello Codeforces!

We (pwned, ACGN, HappyPacMan, maomao90, AverageDiv1Enjoyer, and trunkty) are thrilled to invite you to Codeforces Round 987 (Div. 2) on Nov/15/2024 15:35 (Moscow time) (note the unusual time)! After more than two years of preparation and nearly thirty problems on our shortlist, our contest is finally here for your enjoyment!

In this round, you will help Penchick as he embarks on a world trip through the Philippines, Indonesia, and even through the Australian beaches and attempt six problems in two hours!

The score distribution will be as follows: $$$500-1000-1500-2000-2500-3000$$$.

This round would not be possible without the support of everyone behind this round:

Lastly, we thank MikeMirzayanov for creating the incredible Codeforces platform, where many of us have engaged in friendly competition, honed our problem-solving skills, and forged lasting friendships throughout the years!

From our keyboard to yours, we (and Penchick) wish you good luck, positive delta, and an exciting competition experience!

As a participant, I read all the comments and wondered why only one peng' has orange beak and why are the 2 rubik's cubes having 2 different "**shades of green**" ?!
