Riichi...Tsumo! 2 han 2000 points!

Hi! Have you ever heard of the game called Mahjong Soul? It is a Japanese Mahjong game that is famous for the adorable characters.

We are excited to invite you to take part in Codeforces Round #635, where you can help the characters in trouble. This round will be held on Apr/15/2020 17:35 (Moscow time). Most importantly, it is rated for both divisions!

Each division will be given 6 problems and you will have 2.5 hours to solve them. An interactive problem may be found in this round. If you are not familiar with interactive problems, you can learn about them here.

The problems were prepared by EternalAlexander, ustze and me Sulfox.

We sincerely thank isaf27 for reviewing and coordinating the round, and MikeMirzayanov for providing such a great contest preparing environment.

Also thanks to the following testers:

Good luck to all the participants! Oh, one more thing, you can enjoy Mahjong Soul here!
