### FAQ↵
↵
_How difficult are the problems?_↵
↵
We think novice division ranges from CF ratings 800 to 1700. Advanced division ranges from 800 to 2100 rating.↵
↵
_Can I use pre-written code?_↵
↵
Unless we specify otherwise in an new announcement, pre-written code (aka templates) is **allowed**.↵
↵
_Can I access the internet freely?_↵
↵
You can only access internet resources written **before the contest's start time**. For example, this means that any content that was **AI-generated** during the contest is **strictly prohibited**. Don't even consider it.↵
