Hello, Codeforces!
[Note the unusual (for the educational round) start time!]
Educational Codeforces Round 10 will take place after a long delay on 25 march 2016 at 16:00 MSK for the first and the second divisions. The long delay is caused by the high frequency of contests and championships on Codeforces. You can read about educational rounds here and here.
<The same as before>
The round will be unrated for all users and it will be held with extented ACM ICPC rules. You will have two hours to solve six problems. After that you will have one day to hack any solution you want. You will have access to copy any solution and test it locally.
If you have ideas for some problems or maybe already prepared problems that you can't use in rounds or official competitions, you can write to me.
It seems that it is harder to invent interesting simple problems (like A and B) than difficult ones. So don't be afraid to suggest interesting simple or very simple tasks.
</The same as before>
From now traditionally the problemset was totally suggested by Codeforces users. The problem А for the third time was suggested by user unprost (no hope for the short problem statement :-)). The problem B was suggested by user Smaug. The problem C is another problem from the set sent by Bayram Berdiyev bayram, Allanur Shiriyev Allanur and Bekmyrat Atayev Bekmyrat.A. Alexey Dergunov dalex suggested the problems D and E. The problem F was suggested by Lewin Gan Lewin.
Thanks a lot to them and all others who are sending the problems or just ideas of the problems!
The problems D and E was prepared by Alexey Dergunov dalex. Other problems was prepared by me (Edvard Davtyan). I want to note the generator for the problem E its difficulty comparable with the solution to the problem F. Thanks to Maria Belova Delinur for checking the English statements. The problems was tested by users: unprost, Smaug, Aleksa Plavsic allllekssssa, Alexey Dergunov dalex and Lewin Gan Lewin. Thanks a lot to all of them!
I hope you will enjoy the problems!
P.S.: I really like the problem F and hope to see Accepted-s for it.
Good luck and have fun!
UPD: The contest is finished. The editorial is ready.
