Hello all! I have another contest to share with you all.

Abakoda was an initiative by NOI.PH (the Philippines' olympiad) to run a series of beginner-friendly weekly contests, which ultimately culminated in a long contest. Contestants were given a little under 10 days to solve 13 problems. We have decided to share these problems with the general Codeforces community.

I feel very strongly that good beginner contests are required in order to lower the barrier to competitive programming. And I'm quite proud of the set that I ended up writing! The problems should be approachable for beginners... but that said, I think there are a handful of problems that more experienced contestants might find interesting anyway :)

The contest link is here: https://mirror.codeforces.com/gym/104146

Enjoy!

Thanks to verngutz for helping me set one of the problems, and thanks to ongyiumark and lyreloi and cerebi for helping me with testing! Art, as usual, is by my amazing friend Saji Tan.

    This contest ran from Dec 25 to Jan 2 (I think). I decided to wait a bit until after it was over before I would release it to the public :))

Where can I get the tutorial for the contest? We cannot even see others' submissions also.
