Yeah. I mean imagine how cool is this to keep 350+ people captive for 6 hours or so

    Apparently now you're allowed to leave but you will be disqualified from the contest. Sadly, nobody could tell us this before we tried.

All the computers are in the same network, so Codeforces decided that we are trying to DDOS it. Challenge is postponed by 30 minutes, it seems.

I went to ask if I can go outside for 10 minutes while we are waiting. Unfortunately, I can't, but while I was gone, KAN was thinking about finding a blog "What do you do when your teammate leaves their laptop unlocked".

We are allowed to view each others screen, but it has some delay, so we can create this beautiful thing which slowly increases its depth.

      Thanks for the recommendation, this was amazing. Unfortunately, I don't know how to record screencast here, and just screenshot won't be enough to appreciate it fully.

    KAN has successfully done it. I and Ekler haven't.

        Probably all leading zeroes must be removed

        Yeah, that is what worked for KAN, but I'm getting "suspicious activity" again.

          It works now. Not that I'm much interested in participating, but since the issue is fixed I hope we will be free in 3 hours and that is what I want now.

            I tried to walk with my team to outside from the left door, no one told us anything, we played a ping pong and came back.

            You might try to do it, btw I am right behind you :P

              I don't want to do anything that is clearly prohibited. This is a mandatory event, and I asked John Clevenger (mr. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, I am a big fan) if I can go outside, and he said I won't be able to return.

The contest has started. The famous "traditional level playing field" of ICPC is maintained.

    And now they will delete the contest and add it again with later starting time. Some people have opened the problem statement half an hour ago.

      Sorry. It's not my laptop, I can barely code on it, not to mention take normal screenshots.

    I don't think that there is a spectator link, if there is, you have more chances to get it if you will go to some ICPCLive stream (youtube, twitch).
