Competitive programming is an amazing journey, but for absolute beginners, even Division 4 can feel overwhelming. Many new users struggle to solve problems during contests, which can be discouraging.

I would like to propose the creation of Division 5, a special division designed for newcomers who are just starting to learn programming and problem-solving.

Why Division 5? To provide a gentle introduction to contests with very simple problems.

To help beginners build confidence by solving at least one or two tasks during a round.

To create a clear learning path: Div. 5 → Div. 4 → Div. 3 → Div. 2 → Div. 1.

Possible Features Problems focused on basic programming constructs: loops, arrays, strings, conditions.

Shorter contests (maybe 60–90 minutes).

Ratings capped at below 800, so only true beginners participate.

Editorials with step-by-step explanations to help learners understand solutions.

Frequency: We want Division 5 contests to be held once a month, so beginners can regularly practice without feeling overwhelmed.

Expected Benefits Encourage more people to join Codeforces without fear.

Increase participation and retention of new users.

Build a stronger foundation for future competitive programmers.
