Thanks to University of Wrocław and gawry for the second time for help in organising the selections!

We are very grateful to Sergey Kolodyazhnyy for creating powerful online judge Eolymp.

Also, I would like to thank oleh1421 and kostia244 for preparing amazing problems. Maryna, Ilona and Melissa_14 for looking after the participants and Federation of Olympic Programming of Ukraine presented by arsijo for coordinating the entire process.

So, on IOI Ukrainian Team will be represented by:

• Andrii Smutchak(xGaz_) — 2nd time at IOI(IOI 23 Silver), 0 attempts left
• Ihnat Zharikhin(Ignut) — 1st time at IOI, 0 attempts left

On May 19, at 16:00 UTC the second competition of the Eolymp Weekend Practice series will take place. Learn more on the competition website.

Format and Difficulty

Same as the first round, the competition is primarily aimed at improving practical skills. There will be 5 tasks of varying difficulty, the easiest of which can even be solved by beginners.

The scoring for each task being block-based (meaning points are awarded for each block of tests separately, and only if the solution passes all tests in the block). If there is a tie between two participants, the one whose last productive submission (i.e., a submission that added at least one point) was made earlier will be ranked higher in the leaderboard.

This series has a standard duration of two hours.

The statements will be available in the following languages: English, Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Azerbaijani.

Registration

You can register for the competition on its page.

Thanks a lot to:

• arsijo for coordinating the contest
• Sergey Kolodyazhnyy for creating Eolymp
• Umanity, Do_not_make_friends, Frus for authoring the problems
• peltorator, 160cm, TheQuantiX, Ignut, Geforgs, Fatonim_, Melissa_14 for testing the contest

Prizes

The top-10 participants of the competition, as well as 10 random participants from those who rank from 11th to 100th place, will receive prizes in the form of t-shirts. Please, note, that we have changed how prizes are awarded,

• We will send prizes for free to EU countries (with few exceptions), Ukraine and Azerbaijan. If you live in another country, we still may arrange delivery for you, but additional conditions and fees may apply.

• If you already got a T-Shirt in the first round, we will not send you another one, because it will be excatly the same.

Hello codeforces!

Recently in the problem I came across with this data structure, which can perform this operations:

• add element

• delete element

• return the maximal of it

with O(1) for query.

So the question is simple: is it exist?

Дан массив целых чисел a(len(a) < 10^5, 1 <= a[i] <= 10^9)

дано q запросов двух типов

В первом из них заданы два числа x(0 <= x < len(a)) и y(1 <= y <= 10^9) требуется изменить елемент массива а с позицией x на y

Во втором же заданы два числа: l,r(0 <= l < len(a), 0<= r < len(a), l < r) требуется найти два разных таких индекса x1,x2 принадлежащих отрезку от l до r включительно таких что их НОД будет максимально возмжным из всех пар(вывести его)

Я умею решать эту задачу полным перебором O(q*n^2) но мне лично интересно узнать есть ли решение за нормальную асимптотику(O(q*log(N))).
