Hi, is there anywhere for us to see the previous questions?
I recommend reading the blog before commenting on it, especially if you have a doubt.
Thanks
Hi! I registered my team a few days ago and haven't received a response yet. It is OK or I did something wrong?
Hello.
Can the team leader be from a team of three students? For example, if I decide to compete, can I be the team leader, or does it have to be someone who does not participate, which would complicate this further?
Hi, the team leader can be one of the participants. The team leader is just responsible with the communication with the organisers (ex: the team leader will receive by email the credentials for the judge system). Best, George
Hi everyone! Just a reminder that the sign-ups for the AGM International Contest will be closing this Thursday, the 20th of April at 5:00 PM GMT+3
To sign-up, please follow the link: https://forms.gle/LP41teSthn8xt7Lo6
Does GMT+2 mean exactly GMT+2 (UTC+2) or refers to Bucharest/Romania Local time (EEST) which changed from GMT+2 to GMT+3 recently?
Hi! We're targeting the Bucharest/Athens time zone. Strictly speaking, it'd be 17:00 UTC+3 (EEST). Hope this helps!
Hi! My team and I registered a week ago and we did not receive a confirmation email nor contest credentials till now. I’ve sent a message to your contact email, can you please address that ?
My team hasn't received a confirmation email or the logins too.
Hi everyone! Daylight saving time (DST) happened after we initially announced the contest to start at 14:00 GMT+2. In previous comments, we announced that we are actually targeting 14:00 under the current Bucharest/Athens time zone (GMT+3). However, to be fair to those that do not watch this blog post, we decided to stick with the initial start time. Hence, the contest will start at 14:00 GMT+2 (or 15:00 Bucharest/Athens time zone). See here how this maps to your local time zone. We are sorry if this implies you will need to wait an extra hour before the contest starts! Good luck to all the teams!
My team hasn't received a confirmation email or the logins.
I sent a private message.
Hello, everyone! The platform is down due to a technical issue. We are working on a quick fix now and it should be sorted out soon. We apologise for this inconvinience!

http://bitly.ws/Do3e Apparently this was the issue. Hope it helps someone!
Have a great day, Vasile

Why poor? Why low money prizes?
Have a great day, Mihnea
Good problems.Looking forward to the final round :)
Problems were really good. I appreciate the authors. Where can we upsolve the problems?
We will upload them soon to the Gym in the same way we did with the last year's problems. We will post here when this is done. Thanks!
Hi! The problems are available for upsolving in the gym
Thank you!
Will there be an editorial? If there already is one, where?
