Hello Codeforces!

We are excited to announce that The 2026 ICPC ASU Collegiate Programming Contest, which was held on May 21, 2026, is now available in the Gym for everyone to try.

We are excited to share the contest with the competitive programming community, and we hope that competitive programmers around the world will enjoy solving the problems as much as we enjoyed preparing them.

If you attempt the contest, we encourage you to share your feedback, discuss the problems, and compare your solutions with other participants.

And here is a small challenge for you try to solve Problem H without any hints or external help. If you manage to get it accepted on your very first submission, you will earn our respect and, more importantly, we might finally tell you the legendary "3awatleyyet El ASU" story.

All problems were authored and prepared by D7br, Zpider.Mukhtar, and Droby.

We would like to express our special thanks to Kareem_Elgoker, Rayo, samsoom, and the_seal for testing and verifying the problems.

We would also like to give special thanks to Ayoub.Aref for adding the contest to the Gym and making it available for everyone to enjoy.
