Goodbye 74TrAkToR + Problem A~E: The problems themselves are good and typical A~E. Indeed I like problem D. The pretest for A is a bit weak, and it's not a big problem yet. + Problem F: The problem has an origin. :) See the link: [click](https://www.luogu.com.cn/problem/P9394). The problem in contest is only a weakened version of the one in Luogu. + Problem G: It's said that our great coordinator had not proved the time complexity of the intended solution is correct :) If the authors did, please share it in the editorial. (although this problem is completely beyond my ability :) ) + Problem H: Oh dear [user:74TrAkToR,2023-12-30], could you please OEIS the sequence before you use the "several-integer-input" problem in rounds next time? Anyone who copied the first example and opened [https://oeis.org/A286331](https://oeis.org/A286331) could quickly get the formula. And the problem itself is not so hard imo. Anyway, it should not be used in contest, especially for the last problem. For me pers...

Codeforces Round #547 (Div. 3) Hello, Codeforces! I am pleased to invite you to [contest:1141], which will start on [contest_time:1141]. Everyone whose current rating is strictly less than 1600 is invited to participate officially. All others can take part out of the competition. It so happened that the schedule of this month is not replete with rounds (coordinators, we hope for you!). Therefore I decided to partially correct the situation. All the problems of this round were invented and prepared by me on the last day of [Hello Muscat Programming Bootcamp 2019] (/blog/entry/63298) and on flights from Muscat to St. Petersburg. I even specially noted the time for preparation: for the current moment (the problems are ready for testing) I spent about 6 hours on their preparation, including inventing some of the problems. I really like working on problems, this is something at the intersection of creativity and programming. I really hope you enjoy the result of my work. <center> <br/> <img src = "/predownload...

Div. 2 C's are NOT getting easier Recently, after like every Div. 2 contest I see some blogs/comments saying that ~2C problems are getting easier. What's the evidence? They say these problems have _many_ solves. No, I think it's the opposite. Definite number of solves is not a good measure for evaluating the difficulty. A not too precise, but statistically more reliable way to evaluate the difficulty of a 2C problem would be calculating `(# of official solves on C) / (# of official solves on A)`, assuming that most people have always been able to solve 2A. Let's calculate them for recent 10 Div. 2-only contests' (not counting Educational rounds) C problems: - [contest:1993] : 6755/19951 (33.86%) - [contest:1995] : 2384/13980 (17.05%) - [contest:1990] : 3490/11867 (29.41%) - [contest:1988] : 7239/12234 (59.17%) - [contest:1983] : 5504/16414 (33.53%) - [contest:1982] : 7654/14965 (51.15%) - [contest:1978] : 5115/12031 (42.52%) - [contest:1979] : 9051/17663 (51.24%) - [contest:1981] : 1128/10942 (10.31...

We will win 10$ with probability 10%, and 20$ with p-bility 2%. On average, it gives us $0.1 \cdot 10 + 0.02 \cdot 20 = 1.4$, so we are worse off after buying the ticket.

After a Round FAQ Every time a (rated) round ends, I always see the same questions from people who are new to Codeforces. So, here I made an FAQ that answers to these repeated questions. Please do provide the link to this blog when you want to answer to them. #### Why is my rating still not updated yet? Be patient. It takes a while (can be a few hours, or even more) to finalize things such as detecting cheats and confirming test results, or there can be other issues that need investigation. It won't be unrated unless they announced that it will be unrated. #### My solution was hacked after contest, but why didn't my rank / rating change? It is called _uphacking_, and it does NOT affect the standings nor rating changes. The score you gained from uphacked solution will remain. The hack tests will be added to the tests for practice submissions later, but there won't be any rejudges on already accepted solutions. #### I got a system message that says that my submission coincides with other soluti...

Codeforces Round #760 (Div. 3) Hello, Codeforces! On [contest_time:1618] the [contest:1618] will start. This is a usual round for the participants from the third division. The round will contain 8 problems, which are mostly suited for participants with rating below 1600 (or we hope so). Although, as usual, participants with rating of 1600 and greater can register for the round unofficially. The round will be hosted by rules of educational rounds (extended ACM-ICPC). Thus, during the round, solutions will be judged on preliminary tests, and after the round it will be a 12-hour phase of open hacks (we hope that our tests are strong enough, so there won't be too many solutions hacked during this phase). You will have to solve **8 problems** in **2 hours and 15 minutes**. The penalty for a wrong submission is equal to **10 minutes**. [We remind you](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/59228) that only _the trusted participants of the third division_ will be included in the official standings table. As it is w...

Complaining Again about Round 1056! **The blog doesn't interest you if you're not mentioned so skip reading to save your time!** As you might've read in [user:Mr.Pie,2025-10-20]'s [blog post](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/147075), some users have got rating change despite them being Master ranked and unrated in **Codeforces Round 1056 Div.2**, these are:<br> [user:Rising-coder,2025-10-20] -me, [user:ivandasfs,2025-10-20], [user:saboten,2025-10-20], [user:konghaojie,2025-10-20], [user:GuilhermeCdM,2025-10-20], [user:yahia,2025-10-20], [user:CoderAbhi27,2025-10-20], [user:lyteabovenyte,2025-10-20] ### Why did this happen ? It appears all of us have registered to the round when we were Candidate-Master. That's still a bug of course because I did the same many times before but this didn't happen. ### Why am I posting this blog ? Well I tried contacting [user:MikeMirzayanov,2025-10-20], and the round coordinator [user:errorgorn,2025-10-20], and one of the authors [user:efishel,2025-10-20]. But they all read a...

Codeforces Round #710 (Div. 3) Hello, Codeforces! \<almost-copy-pasted-part\> Hello! [Codeforces Round #710 (Div. 3)](https://codeforces.me/contest/1506) will start at [contest_time:1506]. You will be offered 7 problems with expected difficulties to compose an interesting competition for participants with ratings up to 1600. However, all of you who wish to take part and have a rating 1600 or higher, can register for the round unofficially. The round will be hosted by rules of educational rounds (extended ICPC). Thus, during the round, solutions will be judged on preliminary tests, and after the round it will be a 12-hour phase of open hacks. I tried to make strong tests — just like you will be upset if many solutions fail after the contest is over. You will be given 7 problems and 2 hours to solve them. Note that **the penalty** for the wrong submission in this round (and the following Div. 3 rounds) is **10 minutes**. [Remember](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/59228) that only the trusted partici...

Sport programming and incorrect accepted solutions I didn't help but notice that almost each contest there's at least some solutions that are clearly incorrect but get accepted nevertheless. For example, discussions for last 3 numbered CF rounds: + https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/62750?#comment-467811 + https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/62692 + https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/62594?#comment-465649 Sometimes problemsetters/testers could have done better job, sometimes it's seems close to impossible to fail specific solutions in advance without actually coming up with this solution. So, here is an idea which I both thought of myself and also heard from several other people: What if after the contest and system testing phase there was open hacking phase, which doesn't give any points for hackers but helps to find solutions that should not be accepted. It seems that it should be easily implementable, considering it already works somewhat like this in Educational rounds, but [user:MikeMirzayanov,2018-10-28] may comment o...

Codeforces Round 1009 (Div. 3) Oh hello there. This is [user:chromate00,2025-03-09], just casually on the announcement of [contest:2074]. And now, you see a drawing. <h2><b><center>$\square$ &mdash; $\triangle$ &mdash; $\triangle$ &mdash; ◯ &mdash; $\triangle$ &mdash; $\square$ &mdash; $\triangle$</center></b></h2> And then, you think. You see a square, a triangle, and a circle. Also, a Korean problemsetter. You immediately imagine the certain survival game that popped up in your memory. And you may be right. Or you might be wrong. Whatever, what I can ensure you is that you will be absolutely stunned to see the problems. Or astonished. You might not believe what you see. This round might change *everything*. Anyways, the preface was a bit too long. Starting from [contest_time:2074], you will be given **$\mathbf{7}$ problems** to be solved in **$\mathbf{2.5}$ hours**. There is **at least one** interactive problem, so I strongly urge you to read [the guide](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/45307) if you a...

Codeforces Round #839 (Div. 3) Привет, Codeforces! On [contest_time:1772], [contest:1772] will start. This is a usual round for the participants from the third division. The round will contain 7 problems, which are mostly suited for participants with rating below 1600 (or we hope so). Although, as usual, participants with rating of 1600 and greater can register for the round unofficially. The round will be hosted by rules of educational rounds (extended ICPC). Thus, during the round, solutions will be judged on preliminary tests, and after the round it will be a 12-hour phase of open hacks. You will be given **7 problems** and **2 hours and 15 minutes** to solve them. The penalty for a wrong submission is equal to **10 minutes**. [We remind you](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/59228) that only the _trusted participants of the third division_ will be included in the official standings table. As it is written on the blog which you can access by this link, this is a compulsory measure for combating unspor...

How not to read problem statements I wanted to write super-harsh blog but then I decided to split it into educational part and whining part. This is whining part. To read some cool stuff go [here](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/62730). This one will also be educational on a slightly different topic. And there will be A LOT of harsh stuff. I'm not saying that I'm perfect. That round had some really bad problemsetting issues. Problem E was googleable, problem D had very weak tests against very stupid solution (so stupid that none of the authors and testers come up with it, moreover, it is so counter-intuitive that I don't know how so many people independently did it). In two constructive problems participants could look at jury's output, the feature of which I didn't know. And I'm sorry for these issues. BUT. [This comment](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/62614#comment-466588) has very negative rating despite being so true. And no one are here to back me up. So I want to speak my truth as I always do. Let me ac...

Quick unofficial editorial for Educational Round 59 (Div. 2) Continuing with the theme from last time, here's a quick writeup of my approaches: #### [problem:1107A] Since we just want to make two numbers such that the first number is smaller than the second, our best bet is to use only the first digit for the first number and the rest of the digits for the second number. Note that since the numbers can have up to 300 digits we shouldn't actually evaluate the second number. Instead, since the digits only include 1 through 9, we can handle that case by checking the number of digits. Code: [submission:49002957] #### [problem:1107B] The key observation is that the digital root of an integer $k$ is the single-digit number $1 \leq d \leq 9$ such that $k \equiv d \bmod 9$. You can prove this by noticing that $10^p \equiv 1 \bmod 9$ for all $p$. Once we observe this, finding the $k$-th number is very simple; see the code: [submission:48993705] #### [problem:1107C] Since we are only allowed to push the same button $k$ times in a row, let's do...

Codeforces: Results of 2018 Hi Codeforces! February 2019 is already on the calendar, which means that I was late with the report for 2018. Better late than never! Let's remember last year. In 2018, [user:_kun_,2019-02-05], [user:300iq,2019-02-05] and [user:arsijo,2019-02-05] joined the team of coordinators. The work of the coordinators is headed (and is the coordinator of the coordinators) [user:KAN,2019-02-05]. I really hope that a more measured schedule of preparing rounds by a large team of coordinators will give a better insight into the contests. The main innovations in the platform are implemented by me and the developers [user:kuviman,2019-02-05], [user:fcspartakm,2019-02-05], [user:MaximShipko,2019-02-05]. Great work on the organization of events and prizes mailing was done by [user:gKseni,2019-02-05]. Special thanks to the writers of the problems and testers. It is your content that charges the community with life and unites all of us. Thank you for the problems! And now let's summarize...

Codeforces Round 995 (Div. 3) Hello, Codeforces! On [contest_time:2051] the [contest:2051] will start. The round will contain 7 problems, which are mostly suited for participants with rating below 1600 (or we hope so). Although, as usual, participants with rating of 1600 and greater can register for the round unofficially. Participants with rating below 1600 can also use unrated registration to participate unofficially. The round will be hosted by rules of educational rounds (extended ACM-ICPC). Thus, during the round, solutions will be judged on preliminary tests, and after the round it will be a 12-hour phase of open hacks (we hope that our tests are strong enough, so there won't be too many solutions hacked during this phase). You will have to solve **7 problems** in **2 hours and 15 minutes**. The penalty for a wrong submission is equal to **10 minutes**. [We remind you](https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/59228) that only _the trusted participants of the third division_ will be included in the offic...

Thus, during the round, solutions will be judged on preliminary tests, and after the round it will be a 12-hour phase of open hacks. I tried to make strong tests &mdash; just like you will be upset if many solutions fail after the contest is over. You will be given 6 or 7 (or 8) problems and 2 hours to solve them.

О формате и деталях проведения учебных раундов я писал уже [ранее](http://codeforces.me/blog/entry/21565). Также об учебных раундах вы можете прочитать [здесь](http://codeforces.me/blog/entry/21496). Раунд будет нерейтинговым. Соревнование будет проводиться по немного расширенным правилам ACM ICPC. На решение задач у вас будет два часа. После окончания раунда будет период времени длительностью в один день в течении, которых вы можете попробовать взломать абсолютно любое решение (в том числе свое). Причем исходный код будет предоставлен не только для чтения, но и для копирования. Таким образом вы можете локально тестировать решение, которое хотите взломать, или, например, запустить стресс-тест.
