Hello Codeforces, and the legends of across $$$999$$$ and more rounds!


wuhudsm, Yugandhar_Master, and I are beyond excited to invite you to Codeforces Round (Div. 2) at Jan/22/2025 15:05 (Moscow time). Please note the unusual time of the round ($$$\color{red}{2.5}$$$ hours before the usual time)!

The contest contains $$$6$$$ carefully crafted tasks, one of them divided into two subtasks, to be solved in $$$2$$$ hours. You will solve tasks themed around Little John and his shenanigans aimed towards getting his own dream home (featuring, probably, galvanized square steel).

This round could not exist without the thankful help of these so many people:

The score distribution will be announced soon.


Before finishing the announcement, I would like to spoil you a little of how the round's story ends.

Little John worked hard, honest and diligent for years, and finally got a home of his dream.

In that sense, I want You to be like Little John in this round.

Hard, honest and diligent will give you the rewards you deserve.


Anyways, that's all for the announcement; Good luck, and have fun!

Am I the only one who subconsciously thought "Yay, contest 8 in binary!" instead of "Yay, contest 1000!" after reading this? (Yes, that was my actual first thought)

As a tester the chain is an elaborate plot to farm contribution (and this one too)

    Unfortunately, I have downvoted you in the hopes of foiling your elaborate plot.

As a tester of Codeforces Round 960 (Div. 2), hope the round will be interesting for you, or learn new knowledge, or get good delta.

As a tester, I am so happy to have tested the 1000th round. Fun fact: 1000 is the smallest composite number after 999.
