Hi all,

As you know, we had taken a break from hosting contests due to a migration in our checkers. We are now mostly done with it, and are restarting contests from today.

As a test run, the first contest will be a long contest and will be unrated for all.

Contest link — https://www.codechef.com/AUG23

It will be for 12 hours, from 12pm noon IST to midnight on 30th Aug, Wed.

Joining us on the problem setting panel are:

• Setters: Ishaan Ishaan_23 Oberoi, Mikey Mikey_03, Nishank IceKnight1093 Suresh

• Testers: Nishank IceKnight1093 Suresh

• Statement Verifier: Nishank IceKnight1093 Suresh

• Text Editorialists: Nishank IceKnight1093 Suresh

• Contest Admin: Nishank IceKnight1093 Suresh

Written editorials will be available for all on discuss.codechef.com. Pro users can find the editorials directly on the problem pages after the contest.

The video editorials of the problems will be available for all users for 1 day as soon as the contest ends, after which they will be available only to Pro users.

Also, if you have some original and engaging problem ideas, and you’re interested in them being used in CodeChef's contests, you can share them here.

Hope to see you participating.

Good Luck!
