Hello Codeforces,
I'm a member of the Egyptian IOI 2022 team, and I'm not sure yet if we are going to IOI. Historically, the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT) sponsored the Egyptian team to travel to IOI. However, this year, there is no confirmation from the MCIT's side at all. Our tickets are not booked until now, and MCIT doesn't either confirm or deny that they will sponsor us this year.
Now, there are fewer tickets left, and the cost of traveling increases as we approach IOI. We all have been practicing really hard for IOI for the past few months. Now, there is very little time for us to make alternative plans to participate onsite.
Note that MCIT provides training and sponsors the team every year so we expected more from the MCIT side. AASTMT has supported us with a part of ticket expenses
In an attempt to collect the remaining part, we created a crowdfunding campaign. Please donate here.
UPD: We've reached the crowdfunding campaign goal. Thanks to CF community.
I wish you all the best and hope you make the goal.
I hope you can do it and go to IOI, UP
I Hope you can succeed, best wishes
Best of luck!
Hope you reach your goal ASAP <3
I wish u all the best, Good luck reaching ur goal
I think IOI online is not good thing, i hope you can do it Good luck
I hope to you all the best, With my best wishes
I wish you reach your goal very soon
I am really disappointed. I really hope you guys can collect the needed money and make it to IOI. I have trained with you for a year and I believe that you guys can do it and win the medals you dreamt of
This is really saddening and I hope you find a way to go to IOI. Qualifying to IOI and not going really sucks. Good luck.
I hope that you will find a solution and participate to IOI onsite in Indonesia because you deserve it after all these efforts.
i hope you collect the money before the time passes and get the medals you wanted.
I hope you can do it! Good luck!
Good luck!
Latam moment xd. I hope they can travel!.
I wish to achieve your goal and good luck.
I hope you will win medals even after going through tough situation.
Sad :(, I hope you can get enough funding before IOI.
Everyone try to help as much as you could by funding or sharing the blog so more people can see it
I wish you all the best to get the needed fund and achieve your goals.
Done sharing , isA you'll collect the needed expanses and more
It's very sad when you qualify for IOI and can't attend onsite. I hope you can collect the remaining part and attend onsite and get medals for Egypt.
I wish you all the best and hope you can do it.
I hope you can reach your target and attend onsite in IOI, Good luck.
I wish this problem solved very soon you deserved to go IOI...I also wish the arab region be more supportive to cp in all competitions.
I wish you collect the remaining ASAP.. you guys really deserve it
I hope you can do it, best wishes
Tough luck guys, let's pray you reach the funding goal soon
Good luck our Egyptian champions!
That's why Egypt is a third world country , there is no support for talented people
Best wishes Bakry, I hope you can do it .
My country's even better(It's also my country's first time participating in IOI). Maybe the reason why my country is participating in IOI for the first time makes me want to forgive them, but I'm angry nonetheless.
They asked "questions" like : what's the name of the first neural network computer?(like how would I know that???) and XHTML and stuff like that and a few "questions"(like maybe 8 or 10) on P vs NP quiz sort of "questions" and all others were related one way or the other to development stuff(basic stuff which I didn't know).
I regret every moment of participating in the NOI of my country, because I was expecting some decent problems or at least can count as problems, but it was pure blasphemy, also the NOI was online and the participants had the ability to cheat and no effective anti-cheat measures were taken.
Where are you from?
Nepal, and I do hope the organizers will not continue this same "question" thing next year for the juniors trying for IOI next year.
Imagine all of this, but in a country (Ireland) that has been participating in the IOI for the 30th time...
Oh god, I am afraid to even imagine such a thing. That would be horrifying. I want to believe someone must have stood up for proposing some change within the 30 years? Did nothing of the sort happen?
If every single member of the committee is incompetent, what can be done? :(
My situation's also the same, maybe worse, because CP is not really a known thing in my country and the organizer didn't seem to know of its existence when I contacted him about the "questions" not being IOI-style or similar to CP which was amusing. But, yeah, I am also stumped. Hopefully, the organizer took my advice and will implement it next year and I also hope for you that someday they might make a change there as well.
Lol, "third-world country" was a phrase coined to describe those countries who did not side with either US or Russia during the Cold War. I don`t understand why westerners (majority) think 3rd world country = poor country
At this point it is more like "the meaning of the phrase has changed" rather than "everyone misuses it".
exactly
Good luck! Hope you can succeed and all the best.
All support for you
Best of luck
What a pity... Best of wishes to you guys, I really hope you can make it to Indonesia and bring home those medals.
I am really disappointed with what is happening in this period, whether it is in Egypt or in some Arab countries. I don't know if this happened in a foreign country or not, but I think there is not enough support for competitions and contestants. The state is interested in entertainment matters that will not benefit the community and leave the contestants who work hard to raise the name of this country and its position in this field and the beginning of a bright future with their efforts. I hope that this problem will be focused and fixed, and in the end, I wish you good luck and that you will be able to travel and return to your countries with medals. We are with you.
I'm sorry for that, wishing u make it true and travel for the IOI reaching ur goals :(❤️
Wish you all the best. Looking forward to seeing you with gold models.
I know how much effort these guys put into training as much as I know they would do a great job there.
With my best wishes to every member in this team.
Good luck brothers. I wish you all the best
best wishes guys
I hope to you all the best for you , good luck

Alexandria!
Rubanenko, M0sTik, BIV

I hope you can reach your goals, best wishes
Best of luck, Egypt champions! Your hardwork is clearly evident. May you comeback from IOI with a GOLD medal.
GLHF ❤️
Good luck guys. I hope you can travel to IOI and get medals
This is saddening. Hope you collect the needed money ASAP and go get your medals.
I hope you achieve your goal. Collecting the tickets' money isn't easy in Egypt.
Community funding not a solution?
Could you possibly clarify more?
Gofundme or something.
We've already made a crowdfunding campaign and we wrote that in the blog:
Whoops. If you have some money left over, let me know — looks like I'll need to buy some extra eyes and they're expensive!
Reading the blog in its entirety not a solution?
I wish you all the best and hope you make the goal. UP , UP , UP
I donated as much as possible. I hope it helps Bakry.
Best of luck to the entire Egyptian IOI team!
Thank you for your support
You all truly deserve attending IOI so good luck!

Congratulations on achieving your goal.
I hope you all get gold medals in IOI 2022, good luck.
I hope you guys get funded asap, I can't think of anyone deserving it more than you guys!
I wish you to bring a gold medal, Good luck :)
I hope you all the best, guys!
I really appreciate the power of this community. Helping your competitors is really a very good deed on its own. I wish you guys the best of luck for the IOI.
I'm sure you can do it . You really have the power of the Egyptians. With my best wishes .
