Hear ye, hear ye!

We are excited to invite you to participate in the open mirror of the Rutgers Programming Contest Fall 2025, which will start Sunday, November 23, 2025 at 1:00 PM EST (UTC-5).

The problems were prepared and authored by jdurie, nickbelov, nadya271, and ScalarField.

The contest is a 5-hour long ICPC-style team contest consisting of 15 problems. Team sizes can be anywhere from 1 to 3 people. Teams of more than one person are kindly requested to only use one computer for the contest.
