Hello Codeforces!

From Friday, April 1 00:00 EDT to Tuesday, April 5 00:00 EDT, DMOJ will be hosting Yet Another Contest 2 (and no, it's not a terrible April Fools joke). Participants will be given a 3-hour window to solve 6 problems with varying difficulty, with the difficulty being approximately Div. 2 level. Note that only users with a rating under 2600 will be rated.

We hope to see you compete! Good luck and have fun!

Why are DMOJ naming conventions nonstandard? Is there a difference between, say, animal contest and yet another contest? I'm new to the platform, had my first contest a few days ago.

    Names of contests often depend on the groups of problem setters, testers and organisers who were involved with that contest; two contests in the same contest series will usually be set by the same or a similar group of people.

    Furthermore, some contest series have certain characteristics unique to that contest. For example, DMOPC is a monthly contest always rated for all users, and An Animal Contest is always themed around animals.

As a big JoshC fan from his leetcode youtube vidoes, I must ask you to take part in this contest to show your support. Contest has started, you can choose any 3 hours window in next 4 days. Good luck!

I have asked him to set problems on Codeforces too but the kid doesn't listen because DMOJ is his favourite judge. But he did say he might do it in future.
