Hello Codeforces. In the last days I have recieved hundreds of requests of people anxiously awating the reveal of Moldova's IOI team. After 3 days of fierce competition, I am happy to announce the 4 most talented students that will soon claim 4 perfect scores at the IOI.

Without further ado, here is the most recent and complete version of the Moldova's team:

MDA1 KrowSavcik (12th grade, 0 attempts left) — if only hearing his name doesn't scare you, then there is something wrong with you.

MDA2 SlavicG (12th grade, 0 attempts left) — he is ready to prove MIT that they were wrong in unfairly rejecting him, and revenge his last year's performance.

MDA3 Sho (12th grade, 0 attempts left) — after taking a year off to pursue girls, he is ready for his epic comeback and a deserved gold medal. You better hide your girlfriend during IOI.

MDA4 TimDee (11th grade, 1 attempts left) — Timur once tried to write an essay on his Romanian exam, but he wrote segment tree instead. Although he will fail school, he will forever remain in the IOI's hall of fame.

Altough this post might make the other teams sad, I wish everyone great success in competing for second place. Let's not forget that IOI is about celebrating competitive programming and having participants share scientific and cultural experiences.

Also, last but not least, here is a picture of Moldova's EGOI '23 team:

I haven't found any information regarding this year's edition of the olympiad. Is it not going to happen like the last year's edition?

In one day, International Autumn Tournament in Informatics 2020 starts, and as a contestant I was wondering what are your pre — olympiad rituals?

Are you making voodoo magic?

Are you praying to ancient gods?

Are you viewing dank memes on codeforces?

Are you doing your Romanian and Geography homework ?(as me)

What is your way of charging up, and spiritually preparing for contests?

Thanks to bigDuck for inspiration :3

Hello to everybody.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic it was indeed very difficult to organize National Olympiads, and of course it required some changes in the organization process.

I was wondering how everybody organized their Olympiads during this difficult time.
