Codeforces Round #850

By tourist, 16 hours ago, translation, In English

In English

Hello!

Welcome to Codeforces Round #850 (Div. 1, based on VK Cup 2022 - Final Round) and Codeforces Round #850 (Div. 2, based on VK Cup 2022 - Final Round) that will start on Feb/05/2023 15:05 (Moscow time). Both rounds will be rated.

This round is a mirror of VK Cup 2022 Final — annual programming championship for Russian-speaking competitors organized by VK. VK Cup started in 2012 and has grown to be a five-track competition in competitive programming, Mobile, ML, Go, and JavaScript.

All the problems are authored and prepared by me. Thanks to KAN, errorgorn, irkstepanov, izban, qwerty787788 for making this round better.

You will be given 6 problems and 3 hours to solve them.

By tourist, 13 months ago, In English

Tune in at twitch.tv/the__tourist at around 22:30 MSK, 11 Jan 2022 to watch me solving SnarkNews Winter Series 2022 Round 1 live! First I will do the round competitively without much interaction, and I'll be up for discussing the problems on stream afterwards.

SnarkNews Winter/Summer Series (SNWS/SNSS) is organized by snarknews and consists of 5 rounds. Each round is a virtual 6-problem 80-minute contest open for 10 days. The series is open to all, but problem statements are in Russian only. On stream, I'll read the problem statements automatically translated to English.

To make the stream more fun and for easier understanding of what will be going on, you're welcome to do the round yourself beforehand! If you don't understand Russian, you can also compete using automatic translators. Alternatively, you may just read the problems without solving them. In any case, don't discuss the problems in Codeforces comments before the round window ends.

Tentative schedule of future streams:

Round 2 (contest link): 22:30 MSK, 16 Jan 2022
Round 3 (contest link): 22:30 MSK, 21 Jan 2022
Round 4 (contest link): 22:30 MSK, 26 Jan 2022
Round 5 (contest link): 22:30 MSK, 31 Jan 2022

I might be streaming at other times too, so be sure to follow me on Twitch to get instant notifications.

See you on stream!

Hello again!

VK Cup 2021 - Final (Engine) starts very soon: on Aug/22/2021 15:05 (Moscow time). Today, 32 best contestants of the elimination round will be fighting for cash prizes and eternal glory.

You can follow the course of the contest and root for your favorite contestants via this link.

Everyone except for VK Cup 2021 finalists is invited to Codeforces Round #740 (Div. 1, based on VK Cup 2021 - Final (Engine)) and Codeforces Round #740 (Div. 2, based on VK Cup 2021 - Final (Engine)) that start a couple of days later: on Aug/24/2021 17:35 (Moscow time). The rounds will be rated for everyone.

All the problems were authored and prepared by me. Big thanks to everyone without whom this round would not be possible: KAN, PavelKunyavskiy, scott_wu, xiaowuc1, Monogon, Aleks5d, lperovskaya, MikeMirzayanov. Special thanks to s-quark (2nd place of the first ever VK Cup 2012!) for inspiring problem titles.

You will be given 6 problems and 2 hours 30 minutes to solve them in both divisions. It is recommended to read all the problems. Good luck!

UPD: Scoring distribution in the VK Cup finals: 500 — 1250 — 1500 — 2000 — 3000 — 3500

UPD2: Congratulations to the winners of the VK Cup 2021 Final Round!

Scoring distribution for Div. 1: 500 — 1250 — 1500 — 2000 — 3000 — 3500

In Division 2 problems BDEF will match problems ABCD of Div. 1. Problems A and C of Div. 2 will be similar to problems F and E of Div. 1 (albeit being much easier). Besides that, problem D of Div. 2 will have a subtask with lower constraints than the original problem.

Scoring distribution for Div. 2: 500 — 1250 — 1250 — (1500 + 1000) — 2500 — 3500

touristream 011: Codeforces Round 670 (Div. 2) + Educational 95

By tourist, 2 years ago, In English

In English

Hey there!

During my last stream (link to YouTube), besides the expected SNSS Round 5, I did Codeforces Round 669 (Div. 2) virtually trying to explain most of my thoughts in the process. I'd say it went pretty well!

Tomorrow I'll hold another stream solving the most recent Codeforces Div. 2 rounds: Round 670 and Educational 95. I might also do today's AtCoder Beginner Contest 178.

I'm planning to go live right after Educational 95 finishes — that is, around 19:45 MSK.

A question is, given that I will do both Round 670 and Educational 95, which one should I do first? Vote here :)

As usual, the stream will be live on my Twitch, make sure to follow and get instant notifications. Stream recording will be posted to my YouTube afterwards.

See you!

Codeforces Global Round 5

By tourist, history, 3 years ago, translation, In English

In English

Hey!

On Oct/16/2019 17:35 (Moscow time) we will host Codeforces Global Round 5.

It is the fifth round of a new series of Codeforces Global Rounds supported by XTX Markets. The rounds are open for everybody, the rating will be updated for everybody.

The round will last for 2 hours 30 minutes, 8 problems are waiting for you, and one of them will be proposed in two versions.

Scoring distribution: 500 — 750 — (750 + 750) — 2000 — 2500 — 3000 — 3750 — 4000

The prizes for this round:

30 best participants get a t-shirt.
20 t-shirts are randomly distributed among those with ranks between 31 and 500, inclusive.

The prizes for the 6-round series in 2019:

In each round top-100 participants get points according to the table.
The final result for each participant is equal to the sum of points he gets in the four rounds he placed the highest.
The best 20 participants over the whole series get sweatshirts and place certificates.

The problems of this round were developed by me, and here is the list of people who can't take part in the round as they know the problems beforehand:

KAN, Endagorion, BanRussiaAtIOI, Rox, lperovskaya, Aleks5d, Learner99, MikeMirzayanov.

Coincidentally, this is also the list of people I'm thankful to for making this round what it is.

The round will be perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

Welcome!

UPD: The round is over! Editorial is here. Congratulations to the winners:
