Hello Codeforces Community!
I invite you all to take part in HackerEarth's December Easy, scheduled on the 1st of December at 22:00 IST.
Problems have been set by me(paradox1) and tested by satyaki3794. We are grateful to HackerEarth admin r3gz3n for his help.
You will be given 5 algorithmic problems to solve in 3 hours. Partial scoring will be used (you get points for passing each test case). Although the contest is targeted towards beginners, we hope even experienced problem-solvers find one or two problems to be interesting. The contest is rated and prizes will be awarded to the top 3 beginners(i.e. Programmers with a rating of 1600 or less before the challenge starts).
I hope you have fun solving the problems. You can discuss problems on this thread after the contest.
Good luck and have fun.
I think the problems were a little bit harder than November easy .
how to solve " Eerie Planet " ?
Kindly, check the editorials here. There are two solutions explained in the editorial and there is a discussion regarding third approach in comment section.
_The contest is rated and prizes will be awarded to the top 5 beginners(i.e. Programmers with a rating of 1600 or less before the challenge starts)._This say that the prizes will be given for top 5 beginners but the website says only for top 3. Which is true?Sorry for the misunderstanding, will look into it.
