Alebn's blog

Hello codeforces! Some of you have probably heard of JBOI (Junior Balkan Olympiad in Informatics). It has been organized every year since 2007, giving an opportunity to many young students to go on their very first OI, give them experience and prepare them for future challenges in high school.

This year however, JBOI is probably going to be without a host. No country has applied to organize it so it will probably be online or in the worst case it won't be organized at all.

If you are in the position to do something to change this, are willing to help organise JBOI in your country, or know someone who can; please make the day of junior cp-ers by giving them the opportunity of their first olympiad/visit to another country

I made this blog post to find the people who can do this but I also encourage discussion about JBOI in the comments

Thank you very much and to the rest of potential JBOI participants, I hope to see you there :>

    You can submit here, but the statements are in Romanian. For English statements you can check https://jboi2022.lrmd.ro/competition/tasks.

      I tried to submit it in and it gave me Compilation Error while it was working on my compiler

        I am assuming this is your submission. Read the error. As far as I know, variable length arrays are not in the C++ standard, but some compilers may support them as an extension. Initialize the arrays with constant lengths and it should work.

I am getting worried about the future of the OI organizations. Even EJOI 2023 was announced late this year.

      It will be online. Organizers of national competitions in your country should have already gotten an email about other details, so I would suggest getting in touch with them.

        Beuh my mentor told me its ez (CHT is hard...) Anyways how didnt nobody solve 3? I got the idea in the last 10 mins and it isnt that hard. You represent the number as a bitmask and calculate the sum by calculating for each possible count(i) using the 1's in the binary representation

          Why are you talking to your mentor about problems during competition anyways?
