As a tester, I can confirm that I was april fooled by those problems in advance.
I can confirm that these are the most foolish problems I have ever seen!
As a fool, I hope that problems fool me, so that the foolishness cancels... or maybe multiplies.
As a problemsetter, I hope you will enjoy the round :D
As a tester, I wish that you would participate...

Is it rated?
Being a CodeForces Gym contest, it won't be rated.
Although it is not a codeforces official round, but we have our own rating system! https://theforces.netlify.app/ratings
It turns out to be a good idea to read comments from the organizers before the round. :)
Thanks for all the cool problems!
First fool — contest start :)
Spent some time on B because I was misled by Amir_Parsa's rating. Just curious, was this coincidence intentional?
Lol, We didn't even notice that
Nice Coincidence Amir_Parsa orz
https://mirror.codeforces.com/gym/105062/problem/D is its output always "256" ????? but why it gives wrong?
Ans for 4 is 255, 6 is 512, rest 256
can u explain the reason? why for n = 4 output is 255?
