Hello, Codeforces!

I'm pleased to invite you to open up the new year with Codeforces Round 996 (Div. 2) on Jan/12/2025 17:35 (Moscow time)! You will assist Florida Man through his whimsical adventures with $$$6$$$ tasks in the span of $$$2$$$ hours. The score distribution is as follows:

$$$\ \ \ \,$$$ $$$\ \ \ \,$$$ $$$\ \ \ \,$$$ $$$\quad\,$$$ $$$\quad\ $$$ $$$\ \ \ $$$

The problems were written and prepared by me, innocentkitten. However, this round would not have been possible without:

• maomao90 for coordinating the round and carrying me in general;

• Alexdat2000 for translating the problems to Russian;

• all of our testers: Anonymous_Noob, chromate00, Error_Yuan, HappyPacMan, Hyperbolic, ishaandas1, _istil, LMeyling, mohit458, NayemVai, priyanshu.p, raztun, sevlll777;

• MikeMirzayanov for the Codeforces and Polygon platforms;

• and You, for participating!

We hope you find that the problems are interesting, and that you earn your desired rating gains! or losses, if you somehow want that
