Let's share impressions after the contest!
I had a funny moment then 10 minutes before the end my C was failing on assert. This assert means that something wrong compared with naive solution. After unsuccessful attempt to fix it I commented the assert :)
Welcome to the contest of Saratov State U on Petrozavodsk Winter Training Camp 2012-2013. This contest was prepared with diligence and love by jury team of ACM-ICPC NEERC Subregional (Saratov) Contest. Here is the complete list of writers:
Thanks to all of them!
All the authors invite you to take part in the contest virtually in Gym, if:
Hope, you will enjoy the contest!

Hi everybody!
Have you spent the January as efficiently as we have? Here's a small list of innovations the users can see:
sample="true"
value, if it is the test from the statement. This attribute is optional, it its absence is equivalent to sample="false"
.Codeforces Testing Round 5 starts on Jan. 12, 2013, 15:00 (UTC). Our goal is to test the platform after recent improvements. You may notice that we've improved real realtime status. You may visit (problemset status)(http://codeforces.com/problemset/status) and find that it updates automatically without page reloadings. It uses modern web realtime technologies like websockets and so on. For sure, no server polling!
Also we've updated server software and built Codeforces with Java 7.
I invite you to take part in the round. It will be Div. 2 + unofficials from Div. 1. It will contain three obsolescent problems. But I think it will be interesting for many of you. The problems contain very weak pretests to force more hacks. It will be unrated round.
Many thanks to participants!
P.S. As it is testing round, we do not guarantee stable work and so on.
The Codeforces project wishes all its users a successful New Year. May all your handles change the colors only towards red, may all your solutions go well without debugging and may you enjoy many times the coveted Accepted at each contest! We wish you good luck in everything you do next year — isn't that great to have luck on your side!
Traditionally, the Codeforces enables the users to change their handles. Note that this is a one-time change and you won't be able to return to the previous handle. Analyze all 'for' and 'against' carefully as the handle is what you are going to be often called by the numerous participants of the Codeforces contests.
We've got more good news. We've decided to increase the list of people who can get the role of the 'coach' in the Codeforces project::training. Check out all those training sessions! Now this role can be given to those who:
This innovation is going to increase the number of potential coaches roughly by two!
And the last, but not the least detail. Now we can increase the authors' fees for preparing contests. That will hopefully give a little motivation to those who can make an interesting round. In 2013 the authors' fees is:
(We use fixed rate USD = 40 rubles, so actual payment may differ slightly). The sums with asterisks are the extra bonuses the author gets for 'good quality'. The author receives the bonus if he worked without jeopardising the deadlines for preparations and the round went without any major problems with the statements (no additional major notices, fixes in solutions/tests/checkers/validators etc.).
We hope to work with authors efficiently in 2013, we hope that our best participants will generously dazzle the community with interesting contests! For more information or to organize a context, please message Codeforces problem coordinator Gerald (Gerald Agapov).
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
The New Year is in a two-day distance from us and it's good time to summarize the ending year. In a nutshell, this year's been highly productive for the project. Codeforces has set up large championships, rounds followed one after another, we've launched the Codeforces::Gym project, we've added numerous improvements/fixes/innovations. Here's a short list of our deeds:
And that's not the end! We are glad to demonstrate to you wonderful pictures with pleasing graphs and charts.
Northeastern European Regional Contest 2012 will start on December, 2nd. We wish good luck to the teams and many joyful moments to the funs!

NCPC (Nordic Collegiate Programming Contest) — the annual programming competition for universities and colleges in the Nordic countries. The event itself is organised in a distributed manner. It is physically hosted at many participating universities and colleges. The same problemset is used at all sites. The scores are gathered electronically, and the result is simultaneous local, national and Nordic championships.
The organizars publish the problems and testdata, special thank you to the organizers.
The contest of this year is available in Codeforces::Gym — 2012 Nordic Collegiate Programming Contest (NCPC)
It is really good contest as a training before the Subregional or Regional ACM-ICPC contest.
Right now the onsite contest is in progress. You can view the curreny results here.
On Monday you can take part in unofficial contest mirror on http://acm.sgu.ru/. The contest starts on October, 22 (Monday), 2012, 12:00 (UTC). The official results will be integrated into the online contest standings. Hope to see you on [http://acm.sgu.ru/]!
Later the contest will be added as a training in Codeforces::Gym.
Recently the first third team NEERC Trains was finished. By the way, the first place got the intriguing team "SPb NRU ITMO 1: Kever, Korotkevich, Nigmatullin" :-) It was used Warsaw contest from old contest Petrozavodsk camp.
I've added 2007-2008 Petrozavodsk Winter Training Camp, Warsaw Contest to the Gym. The ghosts are not only Petrozavodsk camp participants (2008) but also modern ITMO teams!
Enjoy the contest before ACM-ICPC Subregionals and Regionals contests.
Being recently in the CROC office, I've heard about another interesting contest. It's called "Flying Robots". I am far from robots, but the subject is interesting and popular. I am pleased to publish a small announcement.

Hello!
Only few hours left before Codeforces Round # 135 (Div. 2). We are preparing the round in Petrozavodsk where traditional training camp for ACM-ICPC is going now. Today is a day of rest here, many participants gone to a trip to Kizhi. The main contest authors are me and Gerald. Special thanks to Aksenov239 who tested the round. Thank Delinur for translation.
The problems will be sorted by expected difficulty, the scores are dynamic.
Wish you fun round!
There is something to boast. If you count the number of active participants as it TopCoder does (at least one participation in a rated-event in six months), then for Codeforces it is 9389. By the way, TopCoder has a little less, 9380. A trifle, but nice! :)
Distribution by colors:
Color | Number of active |
---|---|
Grey | 549, 5,84% |
Green | 5189, 55,26% |
Blue | 2011, 21,41% |
Violet | 1108, 11,8% |
