Hello, Codeforces! Or, as we like to say in Romania: Noi nu spunem asa ceva, Codeforces!
We, that is: Gheal, tibinyte, valeriu are proud to finally invite you to participate in (ceva link idk), which will start on (alt link sus). You will be given 5 problems and 2 hours (and 15 minutes?) to solve them.
In this round, as students of the Romanian educational system, you learned about symbolism within common folk stories, and as such, complications arrive, leaving you these 5 problems to solve, as to break your curse (modificati voi, da v-ati prins de funny)
The problems are prepared by Gheal, tibinyte, and partly by me. We hope you will like the round as much as us.
To start listing people we are grateful to, we want to specially mention Artyom123 for great coordination, and VIP-Testers lucaperju and BlueDiamond. Also, thanks to antontrygubO_o for improving one of the task !
