You will be offered 6-8 problems with expected difficulties to compose an interesting competition for participants with ratings up to 1600. However, all of you who wish to take part and have a rating of 1600 or higher, can register for the round unofficially.

Note that the penalty for the wrong submission in this round is 10 minutes.

Remember that only the trusted participants of the third division will be included in the official standings table. As it is written by link, this is a compulsory measure for combating unsporting behavior. To qualify as a trusted participant of the third division, you must:

By tourist, 3 weeks ago, translation, In English logo Hello everyone!

We, the RGBTeam (qwerty787788, Romka and tourist), are huge fans of heuristic programming competitions and are quite saddened by the fact that they are becoming less and less frequent each year. One day, we decided to organize our own competition :) Despite the fact that such ideas often remain just ideas, this time we have a serious mindset, and now we want to invite you all to participate in the first — and hopefully not last — Code Weekend #1!

The competition will be held in a format quite similar to ICFPC/Google Hashcode — there will be one problem and several dozen tests for it. You will need to submit just an output according to the rules of the problem for each test, which can be obtained using any algorithms, written in any language, and running for any duration of time. Midway through the competition, the problem statement will be expanded, and new tests will be added.

The competition starts on June 7th at 21:00 UTC and will last 48 hours. A day after it begins, on June 8th at 21:00 UTC, a second, expanded version of the problem along with a set of tests for it will be released. The competition ends another day after the release of the second version, on June 9th at 21:00 UTC.

The expanded version of the problem will be a superset of the basic version. For instance, if the problem is "given a chess position, find the best move," the basic version may only include pawns, bishops, and knights, while the expanded version will use rooks and queens.

The competition is team-based, and there is no limit on team size, but we've tried to balance the problem in a way that larger teams don't have a significant advantage over smaller ones. Therefore, the recommended team size is 1-4 people.

Unlike ICFPC, the focus of the competition will be on heuristic algorithms rather than functional programming (although in recent years ICFPC hasn't been focused on FP either).

Attention! The contest will be held on the website https://codeweekend.dev, you need to register there (once per team). All the announcements during the competition will be in the Discord chat, so join it via the link https://discord.gg/M6pG5zp3DF. Be sure to invite your friends, relatives, pets, and anyone else who might find it interesting :)

UPD. Our competition will be generously sponsored by the TON Foundation, for which we are immensely grateful!

As a result, the following prizes will be awarded in the competition:

1st place — 400 TON 2nd place — 300 TON 3rd place — 200 TON 4th place — 100 TON Additional prizes:

1st place after the first day of the competition — 111 TON. At the end of each minute of the competition, the current leader (provided there is at least one team with a positive score) receives 0.1 TON. 300 TON will be distributed equally for the best solution of each test at the end of the competition. For example, if there are 10 tests, and Team A has the best result in the first three tests while Team B has the best result in the remaining seven, Team A will receive 300/10*3 = 90 TON, and Team B will receive 300/10*7 = 210 TON. All ties are resolved by time — the team that achieves its result earlier ranks higher.

Thus, the total prize fund for the competition is over $10,000 at the current exchange rate.

By flamestorm, 3 days ago, In English mesanu, SlavicG and I are very excited to invite you to Codeforces Round 928 (Div. 4)! It starts on Monday, February 19, 2024 at 06:35UTC-8. We would also like to give a very special thanks to the efforts of MikeMirzayanov and Vladosiya, who helped significantly with the preparation of the round!

The format of the event will be identical to Div. 3 rounds:

5-8 tasks; ICPC rules with a penalty of 10 minutes for an incorrect submission; 12-hour phase of open hacks after the end of the round (hacks do not give additional points) after the end of the open hacking phase, all solutions will be tested on the updated set of tests, and the ratings recalculated by default, only "trusted" participants are shown in the results table (but the rating will be recalculated for all with initial ratings less than 1400 or you are an unrated participant/newcomer). We urge participants whose rating is 1400+ not to register new accounts for the purpose of narcissism but to take part unofficially. Please do not spoil the contest for the official participants.

Only trusted participants of the fourth division will be included in the official standings table. This is a forced measure for combating unsporting behavior. To qualify as a trusted participant of the fourth division, you must:

take part in at least five rated rounds (and solve at least one problem in each of them), do not have a point of 1400 or higher in the rating. Regardless of whether you are a trusted participant of the fourth division or not, if your rating is less than 1400 (or you are a newcomer/unrated), then the round will be rated for you.

Thanks a lot to the testers: MADE_IN_HEAVEN, Gheal, Dominater069, Phantom_Performer, Vladosiya, htetgm, hbarp, tvladm!

We suggest reading all of the problems and hope you will find them interesting. Good luck!

UPD: Editorial is posted!

And now a word from our round partner – think-cell:

text

think-cell is the leading data visualization software for business presentations. Our mission is to offer the most intuitive user interface for generating complex data-driven charts and slides, while at the same time ensuring seamless integration with Microsoft Office. We work on challenging visualization problems, reverse-engineer Microsoft’s code, and reinvent how slides are created. think-cell is the only German company funding the C++ ISO committee delegation, so there is a good chance that components we invent will find their way into the standard.

Right now, we are looking for smart, creative C++ engineers with a solid theoretical background to join our engineering team.

Highlights of the role:

We use the latest C++ features as soon as the compilers support them. We’re not afraid of advanced template metaprogramming or macros when they avoid code duplication or lead to cleaner, more readable code. We prefer algorithms and ranges (esp. ours!) over raw loops. We take the time to deliver perfect code. We love refactoring and modernizing old code and introducing our own libraries. If we can do better than the standard library, we write our own! If we have done something cool, we talk about it at C++ conferences. If we are missing a C++ language feature, we write a proposal and present it to the C++ standard committee. Here is what we offer:

A competitive salary from the start and a raise to EUR 130,000 annually after only one year. Full support with relocation to Berlin or the option to work fully remotely. An apartment for the first month if relocating to Berlin. Lifestyle-friendly working hours, no deadlines, no overtime. No scheduled meetings. An international team of brilliant minds. A flat organisation with respectful colleagues and plenty of room for your ideas. A working environment that is driven by the strive for excellence. text

  • First place: Apple iPad Air (10.9-inch iPad Air Wi-Fi 256GB),
  • Second and Third place: Apple Watch (Apple Watch Series 9 GPS + Cellular, 41mm Aluminum Case with Solo Loop),
  • 4-50 places: think-cell branded socks

You will be offered 6-8 problems with expected difficulties to compose an interesting competition for participants with ratings up to 1600. However, all of you who wish to take part and have a rating of 1600 or higher, can register for the round unofficially.

Let's recall 2023, shall we?

In this post, I want to summarize this year. You know, a lot of terrible things happen in the world, and personally, this year was the hardest and most sorrowful for me. But today, we'll remember something else. We'll remember what this year was like for Codeforces.

Recently, Codeforces turned 14 years old. Not bad, right? And for many years now, when asked "What is Codeforces?" the first thing I say is — it's a community!
