Hello Codeforces!
We (codetiger927, czhang2718, duality, keta_tsimakuridze, kingofpineapples, Olympia, rqi, SHZhang, SuperJ6, Tlatoani), current students at MIT, are excited to announce that we are running a new programming competition — the MIT Informatics Tournament, aka M(IT)^2!
The contest, which is scheduled for January 20th, 2024, will be a full-day event with a hybrid format: an in-person competition at the MIT Media Lab, and an online division held at the same time. Participants form teams of up to three people. Participation is open to everyone, regardless of age!
There will be two rounds, each 2.5 hours long with 6 problems. The first round will have the same problems for everyone, while the second round will be split into Beginner and Advanced divisions, and you do not have to choose which division to participate in until the first round is complete. See the logistics page for more details.
We expect a difficulty distribution roughly ranging from Div. 2 A to Div. 1 E.
