Hi Codeforces!
stefdasca, koala_bear00 and I are very excited to announce our first contest Codeforces Round #676, which will take place Oct/18/2020 12:05 (Moscow time). The round will be rated for participants with rating up to 2099.
The tasks were written by me with help from stefdasca and koala_bear00 and you have to help some of the authors' favorite musical artists to solve the problems they're faced with.
We hope we compiled a very interesting contest with memorable tasks :)
