Hello, Codeforces community!

I'm glad to invite you to Codeforces Round #691 (Div. 1) and Codeforces Round #691 (Div. 2), which will be held on Dec/19/2020 12:35 (Moscow time). The round will be rated for both divisions.

The problems were taken (mostly) from the ByteDance — Moscow Workshops Online Contest, which is happening at the same time. They were prepared by me, AndreySergunin, and amethyst0. We are very thankful to the testers: low_, kalki411, ecnerwala, Tima, IITianUG, thenymphsofdelphi, mohammedehab2002, namanbansal013, Redux for their time and great feedback. Also big thanks to Bytedance instructors chenjb and jqdai0815 for testing and reviewing the Bytedance online contest.

ByteDance is a global technology company operating a range of platforms that allow people across languages, cultures and geographies to create, discover and connect. ByteDance has partnered with Moscow Workshops and Codeforces to organize a top tier and exclusive training camp for the International Collegiate Programming Contest. The upcoming Programming Camp will be held in Beijing from February 20th to 26th, 2021.

ByteDance — Moscow Workshops Online Contest is an opportunity to participate as teams in this camp.
