**Hello Codeforces!**↵

↵
Our team is actively preparing for the upcoming ICPC Regional Contest. Unlike World Finals, Regional problem sets usually have a different dynamic and difficulty curve.↵
We want to align our practice with the actual target level. I would really appreciate insights from alumni / experienced participants on the following questions regarding problem types:↵
1. Typically, out of 10–12 problems, how many are considered "must-solve"?↵
2. Which topics appear most frequently in Regional Contests?↵
↵
Any breakdown of typical Regional problem sets or advice on topic prioritization would be extremely helpful!↵
**Thanks in advance!**
