Shahbaa University Qualification Contest
~ Qualifier for the Aleppo Private Universities Contest ~
* * * * *مرحبًا بالجميع!
Hello, Codeforces! :D
On 27 August 2026, we held the qualification contest of Al-Shahbaa University in Aleppo. Its purpose was to choose the teams that will represent our university in the Aleppo Private Universities Contest.
Behind every contest there are countless hours of work, late nights, and many cups of tea. We tried to make the problems fun to read as well as to solve. Along the way, you will come across sleepy judges, tired kittens, busy car washes, and a very generous group of friends buying a gift. :)

Whether you solved every problem or just one, you did something great by being there. Every great programmer has once stared at a "Wrong answer on test 2", and we hope you enjoyed the contest anyway. ;)
