CODE FESTIVAL 2016 Qualification Round B will be held on Monday (time). The writer is DEGwer.
This is one of the three qualification rounds of CODE FESTIVAL. Top 5 foreign students of this round will qualify. If you are eligible for the onsite contest, please don't forget to fill the form at https://krs.bz/rhd-itm/m/code_fes_2016. Please check the detail of the tournament at http://codeforces.me/blog/entry/46647.
The contest duration is 2 hours, and there will be 5 problems. The first 4 problems are mainly used for choosing domestic students and much easier than other tournament competitions. However, we added one more problem and we hope this is interesting enough for choosing top 5 qualifiers. (Anyway, most probably the qualifiers will be determined by the speed of solving all problems). Note that there is no time penalty for incorrect submissions. The time penalty is MAX, not SUM.
The point values are 100 — 200 — 500 — 700 — 1100. If you are unfamiliar with AtCoder System, 2X-point problem in AtCoder is as hard as TopCoder's d1 X-point problem.
Let's discuss problems after the contest.
UPD: Among the top 5 foreign participants, Arterm has already qualified from round A, and matthew99, Reyna, SkyDec are too young. Congratulations to Merkurev, polequoll, fqw, sevenkplus, and Zlobober! Note that this information is unofficial, and it is possible that some of them don't want to participate in finals (or ineligible).
