Hello Codeforces!
I am thrilled to invite you to the ICPC 2027 Mock Prelims — 2, which will take place on Wednesday, 30th September at 17:00 IST
This contest is hosted as part of the Inter-College Competitive Programming Camp. It is specifically designed to provide a highly authentic ICPC preliminary experience, perfect for finalizing your team's strategy and building contest stamina before the main event.
I hope you like the previous contest and these mocks are helping you in fine tuning your team strategies. I will suggest everyone to mimic the prelims environment like single machine, CC compiler, not taking decision based on the standings etc. Some checklist from my team code-book which may be helpful to the teams :
You will be given 7 problems and 3 hours to solve them. The contest will follow standard ICPC rules and scoring.
The contest theme is inspired from my own ICPC team MST's Journey from our college in Varanasi to Our second regionals in Amritapuri.
This round wouldn't have been possible without the contributions of many individuals:
The problems were authored by me (Enigma27) and prepared by Claude.
A huge thanks to our amazing team of testers for their invaluable feedback, rigorous stress-testing, and for ensuring the problemset is well-balanced: s_jaskaran_s, Arnav_Singhal1, lucky__389, Soumil69, Rodger2041,Divine_Spark, jenil0108, Madhav_AK and prnv10.
Special Thanks to aryanc403 for late night testing and taking time out to do a post contest discussion stream.
Thanks to MikeMirzayanov for the excellent Codeforces and Polygon platforms.
