Indeed, everybody is welcome to join my lecture tomorrow! I will briefly talk about general ICPC team practice and strategy, and then I'll continue with a few nice ICPC problems (some authored by me), including:
You are given $$$n = 300\,000$$$ points ($$$x_i, y_i \leq 10^9$$$). Choose $$$k = 500$$$ of them and run TSP optimally on them, i.e. find the shortest cycle through the $$$k$$$ chosen points.
statement in Polish: https://szkopul.edu.pl/problemset/problem/85OxKFDUUUJKw1egESKVJovL/site/
There's a row of $$$n \leq 200\,000$$$ positions, the $$$i$$$-th with a prize $$$a_i$$$. You start the game on a random position. When you are on position $$$i$$$, you can either:
If you get out of bounds, you automatically finish the game with $$$0$$$ points.
What is the maximum possible EV of your score?
Almost the same problem: https://qoj.ac/problem/975 and https://usaco.org/index.php?page=viewproblem2&cpid=864
That uncanny AI-generated photo of me though :|

That photo looks like Errichto from Temu
It's starting now!
