Codeforces Beta Round #96
By Nickolas, 13 years ago, translation, In English

Codeforces Beta Round #96 will take place on Saturday, December 3rd, and it will be my first classical Codeforces round. To smoothen the transition between Unknown Language and known ones, I've made the problems of the round follow a certain topic, which is of course programming languages :-)

Thanks to MikeMirzayanov, maksay и RAD for their help in preparing this round.

Good luck!

P.S. Points cost for problems: division 1 — 500-1500-1500-2000-2500, division 2 — 500-1000-1500-2500-2500.

I couldn't enter contest first 5 minutes, did anybody have the same problem? I see some submissions from 0:02, so it seems that not everybody had this problem.

Codeforces was extremely slow today. It was very tough for me to submit,to refresh standing pages, to see problems and to hack. I tried too hard to submit B quickly and ended up submitting same code twice(may be differed by \n or space) :( . Did anybody had the same problems?

    You have some array overflow or similar. So the solution has random behavior. Here are two consecutive invocations of the first solution:
    Z:\Cop>1.exe < input.txt
    4
    Z:\Cop>1.exe < input.txt
    35

    Problem A: Hard to understand '+' operation. It is unused statement and ambiguous.....

For division 1, A was really hard to understand, and I believe that I don't understand till now although I got Accepted. But for C and D, I really liked them :)

Thanks for this nice contest!

    I think that both A and B are hard for understanding.
