Hi everyone!
It's been a while since I set problems for Codeforces competitions, so I hope that you had sufficient opportunity to rest before dealing with my problems again. Oh, no-no, there's nothing to worry about! Probably! I promise!
jeroenodb and adamant (that's me!) are happy to invite you to Codeforces Round 869 (Div. 1) and Codeforces Round 869 (Div. 2) which are going to take place at Apr/29/2023 17:35 (Moscow time). Participants with a rating strictly lower than 1900 will participate in Division 2, while participants with a rating of at least 1900 will participate in Division 1.
All the problems are prepared by us, and we would like to thank:
- dario2994 for rejecting sufficient amount of problems for me to be able to set Oleksandr Kulkov Contest 3, for thorough and dedicated coordination and for suggesting one of the problem ideas for the round.
- izban, gamegame, tfg, fedimser, Endagorion, nor, rivalq, errorgorn, antontrygubO_o, redpanda, Runtime-Terr0r, izhang, Everule, NemanjaSo2005, ak2006, ayhan23, SlavicG, hashman, jqdai0815, willy108, madlogic, LeticiaFCS, tanus_era, nigus, Plurm, mathdude42, SajidZakaria, ace_loves_xq, InternetPerson10, alwyn, -is-this-fft-, DJeniUp and dorijanlendvaj for testing and/or valuable feedback and insights about the problems.
- MikeMirzayanov for Codeforces and Polygon and KAN for all his effort in coordinating coordinators :)
In both divisions, you will have 2 hours and 15 minutes to solve 6 problems.
Score distribution in both divisions: 500 — 1000 — 1250 — 2000 — 2500 — 3000.
Good luck and have fun!
