With Nickolas not writing a contest this year, magnus.hegdahl and I have decided to take up this sacred duty :). Special thanks to BucketPotato for volunteering to test this contest!
The 10th April Fools Day Contest will take place on Friday, April 1st at the normal contest time. This is a joke competition in which solving the problem is often easier than figuring out what the actual task is.
In this round you'll be given several weird problems and 2 hours to solve them. The contest will use ACM ICPC rules (no hacks, the standings are decided by the number of solved problems and penalty time earned on them), and it will be unrated. You can submit solutions in any language allowed by Codeforces, unless the problem says otherwise. To get an idea of what the contest will look like, you can check out the contests of the past years: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021.
Good luck, and have fun!
Note: Please stay tuned, this contest will either appear on the Contest page or the Gym page, hopefully by March 31.
