Hello Codeforces o(≧∇≦o) I'm glad to introduce you to Codeforces Round 616 (Div. 1) and Codeforces Round 616 (Div. 2), which will take place on Feb/02/2020 17:05 (Moscow time).
Each division will contain 6 problems, and you will have 2.5 hours to solve them. There might be interactive problems, feel free to learn about them here. The problems were created by 265918, Ari, Kuroni, gamegame, and hugopm.
Now, here are some people I would love to mention:

Thanks to MikeMirzayanov for the wonderful Codeforces and Polygon systems that made this contest possible.
The statements were made as clear as possible for your best experiences. Moreover, we sneakily included a theme in the problemset, and each problem will have an easter egg that is the clue to the theme. If you have AC'd every problem, be sure to search for the theme(*´▽`*)
Additionally, most of us are in a Discord server dedicated to competitive programming called "AC" (this is also the motto of this contest). We will be on the server after the contest to discuss the problems with you. You can find the server here!
I wish you all have good luck and high ratings ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
