Hello Codeforces!↵
↵
On Sunday, February 14, at [contest_time:102953], the [CodeRams Algorithm Contest #2](https://codeforces.me/contests/102953) will occur. This is the second algorithm contest of the year for the CodeRams, my school coding club. The first one was held in December, problems and results from that contest are found [here](https://codeforces.me/gym/102892/standings)↵
↵
The contest will contain 9 problems, and you'll have 3 hours to solve them. The first few problems are fairly easy, designed to be solvable by anyone, while the last few are more difficult. The contest will likely be more interesting for users with a rating of under 2100, but anyone is welcome to participate.↵
↵
Each problem in the contest has a point value, with harder problems being worth more points. Contestants will be sorted first by their total number of points, and then by their solve times, if there is a tie. Some of the problems will also have subtasks and partial scores.↵
↵
All of the problems for the contest were created and prepared by me ([user:plourde27,2020-12-10]).↵
↵
Thanks to [user:galen_colin,2021-02-13], [user:Alx,2021-02-13], [user:ScarletS,2021-02-13], and [user:eggag32,2021-02-13] for testing the contest.↵
↵
Finally, thanks to [user:MikeMirzayanov,2020-12-10] for the great Codeforces and Polygon platforms. Being able to hold mashup contests on the Codeforces Gym has been really useful for our club, especially since the start of the COVID-19 quarantine.↵
↵
**UPD1:** The score distribution is **6 — 9 — 15 — 23 — 24 — 38 — 42 — 58 — 73**. Note that some of these problems will have subtasks and partial scores.↵
↵
Also, sorry for the mistake with the contest time. The contest time currently listed (19:00 UTC) is the correct time.↵
↵
**UPD2:** Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest! Congratulations to the winners:↵
