Hello, Codeforces!
UTPC, the competitive programming organization at the University of Texas at Austin, is happy to invite you to participate in our first ever April Fool's contest which will be held on Monday, April 1, 2024 at 6:00PM UTC-5 (CDT).
You will be given many wacky problems and 2 hours to solve them, with standard ICPC scoring. Anyone is welcome to participate! This is a team contest, meaning that you are allowed to compete in teams of up to 3 members (it is totally acceptable to compete without teammates as well). This is (of course) not an official Codeforces round, and is thus unrated.
Prizes will be available to UT students competing in person in Austin (at the Gates-Dell Complex), or online.
The problems were prepared and tested by mwen, fishy15, sg2themax, blueberryJam, Zhuolie Xie, fishy15, zekigurbuz, fishy15, porkchops, DylanSmith, and fishy15.
And also a huge thanks to chickencode and speedycatfish for planning logistics!
If you are interested, join our Discord here ;)!
We would like to thank:
evouga2 and gpdowning for being great resources and coaches for the UT Austin ICPC teams,
Jane Street, our generous sponsor,
MikeMirzayanov for the great platforms Codeforces and Polygon,
and all of you, for participating!
The contest can be found in the Gym tab; good luck and have fun!
