কি অবস্থা ব্রো? আবারও চলে এসেছি! (That's Bengali for "What's up bro? I am back again!")
I am super excited to invite you to participate in CodeTON Round 9 (Div. 1 + Div. 2, Rated, Prizes!) which will be held on Nov/23/2024 17:35 (Moscow time). This round is rated for both divisions.
The contest will feature $$$8$$$ problems, with three of them divided into two subtasks each. You will have $$$3$$$ hours to solve as many as you can. The problems are authored and prepared by me and wuhudsm.
I would like to thank -
- TheScrasse and Kaey for their jaw-dropping (
literally) coordination of the round, giving valuable feedback and improving lots of problems. - wuhudsm for being kind enough to use one of his cool problems in the round.
- Alpha_Q and Raiden for discussing tons of problems with me and improving some problems.
- antontrygubO_o for not participating in the round as he knows some of the problems as my past coordinator.
- dorijanlendvaj, wyrqwq, Thienu, wuhudsm, jdurie, Farhan132, Soumya1, nfssdq, redpanda, LMeyling, upobir, AlephZero01, NemanjaSo2005, Alpha_Q, tb_ro, Kawchar85, waidenf, serotonin, dazlersan1, I_Love_you_Tithi, Random_3652, and Raiden for testing and improving the round.
- redpanda for creating awesome Manim video editorials for some of the problems.
- The great MikeMirzayanov for the amazing Codeforces and Polygon platforms.
- You, for existing and participating in the round. Also, thanks for giving your best and not quitting. You will get what you want prettyyy soon. Just hold right there

YouKn0wWho is back!
Where is the prize for top 256 — 511 and 512 — 1023? :(
Going to attend my first YouKn0wWho contest !!!
As a taster, I found the problems very delicious.
What is the rating distribution??
Finally found a great opportunity to receive 0 BDT
I'm waiting for this round,bro
Obostha ekdom-i vaalo na bro. Graph etotai nimmogami jasse...mone hoy rating 0 te chole ashbe!
Div 3er contest chai :)
I have just realized from automated polygon emails that I already seen a problem from this contest (and even have access to it on polygon) since TheScrasse has just commited on it. No one has told me before this that I could not participate...
wuhudsm please do better.
Actually you were coordinating wuhudsm's round but you gave it to me, so this time it's normal you have already seen the problems :)
That's not the point. Also, why should I assume it's a problem I've seen before? The annoucement said that wuhudsm only contributed 1 problem. It's quite likely its a new problem???
No one told me that I have already seen problems before. That is not ok. If polygon didn't send the above email (and you didnt suppress emails), I might have participated?
As a participant, I'll participate!
****too much excited**_**
Why are prizes in USDT instead of TON? Not that I will get them lmao.
