With a special dedication to all the people from Ukraine.

Hi, Codeforces!

I have the pleasure of inviting you to participate in Codeforces Round 880 (Div. 1) and Codeforces Round 880 (Div. 2), which will start on Jun/18/2023 17:35 (Moscow time). You will be given 6 problems and 2 hours to solve them in both divisions.

The problems were authored and prepared by Arti1990, Okrut, w0nsh, kempusss, Fly_37, kobor, maras, and me. As the tasks are based on problems from Polish Championship in Team Programming for High School, which takes place earlier on the same day, participants from the original competition are asked not to participate in this round nor share the problems.

I want to thank:

The scoring distribution:

Div. 1: $$$500$$$ — $$$1250$$$ — $$$1500$$$ — $$$1750$$$ — $$$2250$$$ — $$$3000$$$

Div. 2: $$$750$$$ — $$$1000$$$ — $$$1250$$$ — $$$2000$$$ — $$$2250$$$ — $$$2750$$$

Editorial

Have fun and good luck!

I am really interested in solving this task using fewer queries or proving that $$$3 \cdot (n + b)$$$ is optimal. Does anyone have any idea how to answer these questions?

UPD: There are challenges added to some tasks.

Below is a message for you from MikeMirzayanov:

AlgoMuse

With this round, we want to say thank you to Algo Muse for the significant contribution and support!

Algo Muse is an educational site that conducts online algorithmic contests in pen-and-paper style (no coding). It was originally started to help students prepare for theory qualifiers for graduate admissions. At present, the problems have a broader appeal, though occasionally an odd problem may require knowledge of linear algebra, probability, or group theory. The website is maintained by former students of IIT Bombay. To find out more, visit their website or their twitter account.
