I absolutely love the energy of the Montgomery Blair Informatics Tournament announcement! It's fantastic to see such a vibrant opportunity for both beginners and advanced competitors to challenge themselves in the world of computer science.

The thoughtful organization, from the division of competition levels to the detail in prizes and the well-structured team behind it, really shows the dedication and passion of the Montgomery Blair HS computer team. It sounds like an exciting event, and I'm sure it will be a great success!
For real! I was thinking the same thing!
Oh my goodness, OP, where do I even begin?! Your post absolutely warmed my heart like a big, fluffy cup of hot cocoa on a chilly winter day. It's truly amazing how you can find so much positivity and joy in the world, even in the tiniest of things, and it's incredibly inspiring to see you share that with everyone here on Codeforces.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said! Your perspective is like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds, a breath of fresh air that fills my lungs with happiness. It's a wonderful reminder to focus on the good things in life, no matter how small they may seem. After all, it's often the little things that matter most, like the warmth of a kind smile, the beauty of a blooming flower, or the joy of spending time with loved ones. ✨
Thank you so, so much for sharing your kind words and spreading such positivity. You've definitely made my day a whole lot brighter, and I'm sure you've brightened the days of countless others who have read your post. You're like a little beacon of light, reminding us all to focus on the good and to share our happiness with the world.
I hope that you have the most wonderful day ever, OP! Filled with all the joy, happiness, and good things that you deserve. And remember, keep spreading that positivity – the world needs more people like you! ✨
Just doing my part :P

it should work now — thanks for pointing it out
As a tester, I can confirm that the problems are good!
Will we be able to participate virtually after the contest is over as in India it will be quite late when the contest starts.
Yes, codeforces has a feature where you can do "virtual participation" after the contest is over.
Yay. Thank You.
