Hello Codeforces!
The series of Educational Rounds continues thanks to the support of the Neapolis University Pafos. They offer a BSc in Computer Science and AI with JetBrains Scholarships. Gain cutting-edge skills in AI and machine learning, preparing you for high-demand tech careers. Limited scholarships available — don't miss your chance to study in Europe for free!
On Sep/15/2025 17:35 (Moscow time) Educational Codeforces Round 182 (Rated for Div. 2) will start.
This round will be rated for the participants with rating lower than 2100. It will be held on extended ICPC rules. The penalty for each incorrect submission until the submission with a full solution is 10 minutes. After the end of the contest, you will have 12 hours to hack any solution you want. You will have access to copy any solution and test it locally.
You will be given 6 or 7 problems and 2 hours to solve them.
The problems were invented and prepared by Adilbek adedalic Dalabaev, Ivan BledDest Androsov, Maksim Neon Mescheryakov, Roman Roms Glazov and me. Also, huge thanks to Mike MikeMirzayanov Mirzayanov for great systems Polygon and Codeforces.
Good luck to all the participants!

🚀 Free Math, AI, and Coding Clubs
Neapolis University Pafos, in collaboration with JetBrains, invites school students (ages 13–19) to join the Math, AI, and Coding Clubs — weekly programmes designed to build your problem-solving skills through curated challenges and live sessions.
Don't miss the chance to sharpen your skills (and enjoy some fun mashup contests, curated by pashka).
🔹 Math Club
Build a strong mathematical foundation to improve your programming skills. You’ll receive 10–15 progressively challenging problems each week, along with a 90-minute live session every Saturday. Two difficulty levels are available, so you can choose the path that suits you best.
💡 Top performers will be awarded 5 bonus points on the entrance test for the BSc in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Neapolis University Pafos — a fully funded programme supported by JetBrains Foundation Scholarships.
👉Join the Math Club
🔹 AI Club
Explore the world of Artificial Intelligence — from beginner concepts to olympiad-level topics (e.g. IOAI). Attend live sessions every Wednesday and complete weekly homework assignments to keep progressing.
👉Join the AI Club
🔹 Coding Club
Ideal for students with some experience in competitive programming who want to take their skills further. Each week features a mashup of problems from past Codeforces contests, curated by Pavel Mavrin (2004 ICPC World Champion, 2002 IOI Silver Medalist, and JetBrains Academy instructor).
👉Join the Coding Club
🎯 Show off your skills:
Take part in the third edition of the JetBrains Youth Coding Challenge — open to school students aged 13–19. Top participants will be invited to the fourth Algorithm and Code Training Camp (ACTS) 2026.1 in Romania or to ACTS Online in January 2026.
