(After 3 months) Hello again, Codeforces!
We are glad to invite you to participate in Codeforces Round 968 (Div. 2), which will start on Aug/25/2024 17:35 (Moscow time). You will be given 6 problems and 2 hours to solve them. Two problems are divided into two subtasks.
This round will be rated for participants whose rating is below 2100. Participants with higher rating can participate unofficially.
The problems were authored and prepared by me.

Auto comment: topic has been updated by zltzlt (previous revision, new revision, compare).
Hoping to cross 1700 in this contest ^-^
Got negative delta in previous 3 contests :)
same sir, hope we both do good :D
As a tester, there are some beautiful ideas in the tasks, and I encourage everyone to participate!
It will be my second contest in Codeforces, and I am looking forward to it!
First rule of fight club is: "Don't trust the scoring distribution. Especially if it's a Chinese round."
Yeah I thought of maybe till D(easy version) can be easy but since u warned I am gonna try till C
As a tester, I not only tested, but also tested twice. There may be some unforgettable problem. Enjoy it!

Me looking at the setter:
Oh dear... Welp, at least this time I'm out-of-competition so I'd be safe... :D
hoping to not reach green after this one
As a tester and a fan of zltzlt, zltzlt orz.
The problems are nice, gl&hf!
As a tester I cried because how beautiful the problems are
You
for participating. was coolWow,CN Round!
But the Chinese need to stay up late to participate...
I'm a tester?! /jy
I was thinking of participating!
500−750−1000−(1000−1250)−(1750−1000)−2500. what this mean i don't understand the distribution? can anyone explain? Thanks.
it means if you solve the question A, at the minute 0, you will gain 500 points. if you get a wrong answer verdict on that question the pointes you will get becomes lower, and over time in every minute gets passed, the maximum score that you can get also decreases.
some problems have subtasks which are marked in parentheses, the first is the score you get if you solve the easy version and the second is if you solve the hard version
so it doesn't resemble the Problems Rating?
like 800,900,...
no
kinda? Less points means easier problem, but it isn't the same as the problem rating system.
Then D1 is Doable,right?
This means
Problem A: 500 pts
Problem B: 750 pts
Problem C: 1000 pts
Problem D1: 1000 pts
Problem D2: 1250 pts
Problem E1: 1750 pts
Problem E2: 1000 pts
Problem F: 2500 pts
Point values decrease if u get one wrong or as time goes on.
As a participant, I'm waiting for this div to be amazing.
something new "
Youfor participating!"
