Thanks to XTX, which in 2021 supported the global rounds initiative!

All problems were written and prepared by me FieryPhoenix and dragonslayerintraining.

Moo! (Hello Codeforces!)

I’m very excited to invite you to Codeforces Round 621 (Div. 1 + Div. 2), which will take place on Feb/17/2020 18:35 (Moscow time).

In this round, you will be helping Farmer John and his prized cow Bessie cowmplete some fun tasks.

The contest will have 7 problems and is combined and rated for both divisions. The duration is 2 hours and 15 minutes. The problems are prepared by me (FieryPhoenix) and dragonslayerintraining. We tried very hard to make them interesting and hope that you will enjoy them too!

This round would not have been possible without the wonderful coordination by adedalic and cdkrot. Thank you so much to the testers as well for all the invaluable advice: tmwilliamlin168, walnutwaldo20, nikolapesic2802, bfs.07, Rods, lynmisakura, JustasLe, and hocky. As always, thanks to MikeMirzayanov for the best systems Codeforces and Polygon.

Good luck and more importantly, have fun and learn something new!
