Hello Codeforces community,

February Easy '17 starts at 16:00 UTC. The duration of the contest is 3 hours.

You will be given 6 algorithmic problems of various difficulty. All problems will have partial scoring that is, points for each test case passed. Thus, everybody should find something for themselves. Getting full points on all 6 problems should be fun for everyone. Don't hesitate in scoring partial points in order to score as many points as possible if you want to get to the top.

Problems were prepared by a group of authors: niyaznigmatul, lightning, FireZi, dusja.ds, and disa. I_love_Tanya_Romanova is the tester for this contest. I also want to thank hackerearth admins for being around to help in handling the issues with the contest and the system.

Top 5 beginners (1st year or 2nd year) will receive HackerEarth T-shirts. And the eternal glory of winning a contest, of course.

Good luck, have fun. Be one with the code and let the code be with you!
