Hello Codeforces,
You might remember me as the author of Pinely Round 4 (Div. 1 + Div. 2).
Today, I invite you to participate in IIMOC 2025, a month-long heuristic contest starting soon.
About the Problem
I authored the official problem for this contest, and I am very fond of it. The problem is designed to be easy to approach but extremely difficult to master.
Good Skill Differentiation: Whether you are a beginner or an expert, the problem will challenge you appropriately.
High Quality Tests: I tuned the test data to ensure the tests are strong and the grading is fast.
If you enjoy AtCoder Heuristic Contests, you will definitely enjoy this challenge.
Contest Info
Timeline: Nov 22, 2025 — Dec 21, 2025.
Divisions: While the main contest is for high school students, we have an Observer Division for university students and others.
