Hello CodeForces, we invite you to Beginner Contest 2 which will take place on Jan/19/2026 16:05 (Moscow time).

The round will contain less than $$$67$$$ problems all authored by me, Abdur-Rehman and Faraz.

We sincerely believe that you would not cheat. If you are found cheating then you would be sent to Room No. 11, and you are not allowed to bring oxygen masks or anything like that.

Hope to see you in the standings!

UPD1: Since registration is closed yet, anyone who clicks the link is manually registered by me.

UPD2: The contest has been extended by 20 minutes due to a bug in solution of E1/E2.

    They were made by Abdur-Rehman, so don't blame me!

    Actually, I made the problems kind of blindly as I didn't know what the difficulty of the other problems was going to be until well after creating my problem. Also they aren't that hard tbh, I'd say roughly 1500 rated. Not gonna lie though, the difficulty curve of the contest ended up quite messed up.
