- CF Admins: Thanks to MikeMirzayanov and his team for maintaining Codeforces and Polygon. I would like to say same sentence again as I said in my last round's announcement. Polygon is super great platform to prepare sports programming contest.
Following are some fun things that I tried for this round:
- antontrygubO_o is the most intense coordinator I have ever met. He has super high standard on ad hocs, and he rejected lots of my problems. Some example of rejection comments are below:
- This problem is too standard.
- Don't ask people about theorem and formula.
- This problem is appeared in recent ptz camp with higher constraints.
- I don't like it.
- Rock Scissor Paper makes statement messy, because some people don't know about it.
- D2A should be easier than this one.
- I've found generalized version of this problem in POI.
- Isn't this obvious?
- Your proof is wrong.
- This problem is not very interesting.
- This is too (censored).
- After lots of rejections, I tried my best to make problems to be interesting. I hope you like at least some of my problems.
- This round was originally supposed to be rated for Div.2 only. However, after we completed Phase 1 testing, we found that my round is too hard for Div.2, so we added more problems and made this round to be Div.1.
- Even for some of problems which my coordinator approved, there were critical issues that made problems to be excluded. I will introduce some of my rejected problems which won't be used anymore in another post, after this contest ends.
I hope everyone can enjoy my third contest. Thanks in advance!
