Hi Codeforces!
I'd like to invite you to participate in an online mirror of AlBaath Collegiate Programming Contest 2015. The contest will be held on codeforces gym, and will start on Saturday 26/3/2016 at 10:00 AM UTC+2, registration will open 6 hours before the start time.
The contest consists of 11 problems, and you have 5 hours to solve them, ICPC rules.
The original contest was held in AlBaath University, Homs, Syria as a qualification round to the Syrian Collegiate programming contest 2015.
The problems difficulty is easy-medium, although the problems are designed for new comers into the competitive programming world, but I believe that all participants will find very interesting problems to solve!
It is an old contest, I know. but it is never too late to share good problems! (I hope) :)
I would like to thank codeforces community and MikeMirzayanov for the codeforces and polygon platform.
Wish you all happy coding, and lots of greens! :D
This would be the third time to participate in the contest :3 :3 :3
Why is the contest running for 7 days though it has already ended? I think someone has changed it for some unknown reason.
Sorry, this one is on me.
It happened the same as this

I tried to add it to a group training though I wanted it to run for 7 days (a professor asked me to choose some problems for some optional, extra-class activity before the real classes begin). I thought that changing it inside the group would change the contest only in the group, but it changes in the gym also (so it seems impossible to do what I want).
This will mess the standings of the gym contest because virtual participation is not allowed and anyone want to take part will have a weird penalty. There is a better solution, though. You can make a mashup contest and add it to your group. To pick problems from the gym, add them in the mashup contest using their ID. For example, problem A in "Albaath" has the link http://mirror.codeforces.com/gym/100947/problem/A. So, it's id is 100947A. I hope you will restore it back.
I felt stunned and didn't change before as I didn't know the day the contest started (but it shows in this post, so I've changed back to what it was).
Thank you about the info, it worked = ) (and sorry again).
urw :D
