What's the best (read: least effort) way to arrange virtual contests of COCI / USACO / oj.uz problems?
By TheeLooser, history, 5 years ago, In English

Medium/medium-hard COCI problems, USACO gold problems, and some relatively easier problems from oj.uz are very helpful for intermediate-level training contests.
