Hello everyone!

We'd like to announce an olympiad style contest that will be held on our new Olympicode Judge — the Olympicode Open Olympiad!

What is the difficulty level and format of the contest?

The contest is envisioned as a warm-up for the IOI and similar international olympiads. So, it will be two days with 3 IOI-style tasks and the contest will be 5h.

When is the contest?

The first day will be on Saturday, July 5 2025 at 10:00 UTC, while the second day will be on Sunday, July 6 2025 at 10:00 UTC.

Which programming languanges are allowed?

The only supported languages will be C++ and Python.

Who can participate?

Everyone is welcome to participate (as the name says!).

How do I register?

Head over to olympicode.rs and register. That's it!

Who is setting the tasks?

Most of the tasks are authored by me :-), with one task authored by the Yoneda twins: E869120 and square1001!

If you're not acquainted with me or my problems, MladenP created a collection of some of my problems in this group, as well as conducted an interview, a while back.

Who is creating the contest?

I'd like to thank MladenP and milisav for the brilliant Olympicode platform :-). They'll also be participating in preparing and testing this contest, as well as handling stuff on the back-end.

Will the system crash and burn?

Hopefully not!
