My friends and I proposed a contest 4 months ago and received replies recently. It should be a happy thing. Unfortunately, today, one of my friends doesn't know English very well and he really pushes the "MAKE IT PRIVATE" button. Then the proposal is cancelled TAT. Of course we don't want to wait for another 4 months. But all of us don't know how to handle this situation. We felt really sorry for making such a stupid mistake.

We have reproposed the contest. It would be good if the coordinator could help us. Thanks, and sorry again.

Just now my friend(parallelist) found a wrong solution(83183287) of an old problem. He tried to hack it but couldn't find the hack button. I guess that it's because he seldom participates in contests so he ask me to do it and gave me his hack tests. But there is NO hack button either on my screen. "Maybe I should solve this problem first?" I think. Then I do a copy paste to get AC. Well, there's still no hack button.

I am sorry for my friend, wondering if it is true that on Codeforces, you can not make a hack on an old problem? Thanks in advance.

Hello codeforces!

CSP-J/S(Certified Software Professional-Junior/Senior) of China ended. CSP-J/S (or you can say NOIp ,but it has been dead) was held by OI rules. In OI rules, every problem has the same score distribution $$$100$$$ points. In one problem, there is several testdatas (like $$$10$$$ ,$$$20$$$ or $$$25$$$). Every testdata has the same score distributions. Once you pass a testdata, you can get the score. You can submit your code during the contest, but can't see the result. The organizer will judge all the programs together after contest.

I'd like to share the problems of CSP-S here! Hope you guys enjoy. Don't mind my poor English, I spent a whole afternoon translating.
