Hello Codeforces Community,

HackerEarth December Easy '16 will start at 9:30 pm on 1st December, 2016. The duration of the contest is 3 hours.

You will be given 6 algorithmic problems of various difficulty. All problems will have partial scoring, that is, points for each test case passed. Don't hesitate in scoring partial points in order to score as many points as possible if you want to get to the top.

Problems were prepared by me (rhezo). They have been thoroughly tested by Xsquare. Editorials written by me will be provided at the end of the contest. The problems are interesting and I hope you like the problemset. This is the first contest prepared by me, and I would love some feedback! I would like to thank belowthebelt who helped in preparation of the contest and making the contest in a good shape.

Prizes: T-shirts (for top 5 first year and second year students) and Amazon gift cards.

Good luck and have fun!

UPD: The contest starts in around 4 hours!

UPD 2: 15 minutes remaining!

UPD 3: Contest is live. All the best :)

UPD 4: Thanks for participating :)

Here are the top 5:

  1. I_love_Tanya_Romanova

  3. rajat1603
  4. Deemo
  5. -Morass-

Any discussion on the problems is welcome. :)

Agree. Please try to include prizes for school students too, anything small, you know, just to encourage us further.

Is there an editorial somewhere ?

That was my first contest on HackerEarth, actually, and as far as I remember it was my second contest with partial scoring like this. It's pretty cool, actually. :P

    On the problem page, there is a tab with editorial written on it. You can click on it to read the editorial. :)
