Howdy Codeforces!↵
↵
Come join us for a trip to Bovinia with everyone’s favorite munchkin Kevin Sun ([user:ksun48,2015-11-30]) and his sidekick Nicky Sun ([user:nsun48,2015-11-30])! Codeforces Round #334 (for both divisions) will be taking place on [December 1st, at 6:35pm MSK](http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=1&month=12&year=2015&hour=18&min=35&sec=0&p1=166). The problems were written by Alex Wei ([user:yummy,2015-11-30]), Michael Kural ([user:pi37,2015-11-30]), and myself, Yang Liu. As proud Americans, we’ve themed all of our statements around the most glorious cow (and its many uses in life).↵

We are immensely grateful to [user:GlebsHP,2015-11-30] for his guidance and suggestions, without whom we would not have a balanced problem set. In addition, we would like to thank [user:MikeMirzayanov,2015-11-30] for creating Codeforces and Polygon, as well as [user:Delinur,2015-11-30] for translating our problem statements to Russian. Finally, we would like to give a huge shoutout to Daniel Chiu ([user:waterfalls,2015-11-30]), Kevin Sun ([user:ksun48,2015-11-30]), Nicky Sun ([user:nsun48,2015-11-30]), Weihang (Frank) Fan ([user:weihangf,2015-11-30]), Ray Li ([user:abacadaea,2015-11-30]), and Girishvar Venkat ([user:numbertheorist17,2015-11-30]) for testing our problems and providing feedback. ↵
↵
We wish you good luck and hope you enjoy our problems and cow jokes. (We’ve milked our brains quite thoroughly for puns.) Come hop on the next cattlebruiser for Bovinia!↵
↵
(Per Codeforces tradition, we will announce the score distribution just before the contest.)↵

UPD 1: Some added thanks to [user:AlexFetisov,2015-12-01] and [user:winger,2015-12-01] for also testing our problems.↵
