Let’s define a Binary Contest: a Codeforces contest whose number consists only of 0s and 1s. Sounds cool, right?

The Binary Contest Timeline So far, 9 Binary Contests have been held: 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001

And today is the 10th one: 1010!

I've participated in two Binary Contests so far: 1000, 1001

If I keep up this streak, the maximum contest I might participate in is 1111. Why? Because after that, the next Binary Contest will be 10000—which is about 8889 contests later!

That’s practically a lifetime in Codeforces terms! Now the real question is—can I make it to 1111? Or better yet, can I set a legendary record of attending every Binary Contest from now on? Or maybe... if I don’t, my son or grandson can. :)) The Binary Legacy must live on.

UPD (22/05/2026): So the Binary Contests are finally here. The next four are: 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111. And realistically, these could be the last Binary Contests I ever get the chance to participate in.

Tomorrow, I'll be participating in my very first Binary Contest!
