    Last night before going to sleep I saw the schedule was today's morning 10:20..Despite having some important work I managed some time for the contest and now before 10 minutes of the contest you are saying that it is rescheduled? This is clearly nonprofessional.

$$$A, C$$$ and $$$E$$$ are pretty standard problems.

$$$B$$$ is cool. How to solve it?
