Any chance for a weekend round soon?

I'm unable to do weekday rounds all summer, and there are probably others with a similar situation.

Yeah, I have the same situation. And even if sometimes I can afford writing a contest at 17:00 on weekday, than it definitely won't be a Friday.

It would be really nice to have at least 1 round on weekend each month. Probably someone won't be able to compete in it, but I think that writing 3 out of 4 monthly contests is a good price to give someone a chance to compete in at least one of them.

Yes, that's a good idea. I've been very busy this summer training for IOI and "other" family stuff :) So it's been a long time since I participated in a Codeforces contest, except for yesterday's contest, and as result, I have a very "bad" rating :-/
Well anyway, if there was a weekend round, more people would be able to participate -- including me :D
And BTW, I really like your Subset Sums problem on SPOJ, I've just started on the site about 3 or 4 days ago, and I'm trying to solve more and more problems. You know what's really cool about it? The acronyms of the approaches one may use are very similar! ( BF ( Brute Force ) + BS ( Binary Search ) ) Although I think there's a better, more efficient approach.
