April 20th, 2015. The day that Mr. Benum the CS teacher vanished into thin air. It was apparent that Mr. Benum would not be back for a while, so a replacement teacher showed up. He went by "Mr. Venom". A sketchy name, but there's more. He wasn't listed on any teacher database we hacked up; he had no online presence. Even stranger, Mr. Benum had not notified anyone of his absence. And Mr. Venom randomly applied for a job at Thornhill S.S. on the exact day that Mr. Benum disappeared.
No one suspected a thing, except for the members of the computer club. They knew that some shady dealings had occurred, and that they now had to save Mr. Benum from evil forces. Can they rescue Mr. Benum in time to celebrate on this very special day?
Help guide the young investigators rescue their teacher and defeat the evil Mr. Venom in the TSOC '15 #2 Contest!

The DMOJ now has a Facebook page! Like us to stay informed on upcoming contests and events.
After a day of hardcore programming, we are proud to announce that you may now log in through Google, Facebook, and GitHub. You will be logged into the same account provided that you used the same email on the login service and this site. If not, a new account will be automatically created and activated.
What this means for new users is that they no longer have to register. If you are a new user, you may now simply log in through one of the supported services, and an account will be created for you.
This addition should integrate seamlessly with the current login system.
If you've been with the DMOJ for a long time, you may have multiple accounts associated with the same email (multiple accounts for the same email are disallowed now) — in that case, you will not be able to log in with your social accounts, since it is impossible to determine which account you're attempting to log into. If this applies to you, you need only change your account emails to be distinct.
Blog posts and contests may now be shared via Facebook and X — let your friends know what you're participating in!
The problems for this year's ECOO round 1 competition have been added to the DMOJ.
Enjoy, and if you'll be competing in the next round, good luck!
dmoj.ca is now available over HTTPS to protect your privacy and identity. We value your security greatly, and have gone to all lengths to ensure that your password is safe and your session remain unhijacked. You can now safely browse dmoj.ca at an Internet café or an insecure school network without any fears of being eavesdropped on or impersonated. As an added bonus, pages should now load faster on browsers that support the SPDY protocol — in other words, all modern browsers.

On a related note, dmoj.ca now delivers its assets over the domain https://dmoj.ml/. This is done for performance reasons, mainly to save cookie overhead and better exploit caching. Along with the move of static content to dmoj.ml, we've also seen fit to drop the www. prefix of dmoj.ca — www.dmoj.ca now redirects to dmoj.ca (this is why all your visited links are blue again).
We'll continue to optimize and enhance the usability of the DMOJ in the coming month. Progress is publicly tracked on GitHub, where you can also find what changes are in store for April.
Update 2: The correct date is actually April 2, 2015.
Update: The contest has been postponed to April 3, 2015.

Contest ratings similar to TopCoder's rating system have recently been implemented on the DMOJ. Rating is a direct indicator of how likely you are to beat someone else in any given contest. The higher your rating is compared to another person, the more likely you'll place better! There are currently six ranks, based on the numerical value of the rating.
| Ratings Chart | ||
|---|---|---|
| <1000 | Newbie | |
| 1000-1199 | Amateur | |
| 1200-1499 | Expert | |
| 1500-2199 | Master | |
| 2200-2999 | Grandmaster | |
| ≥3000 | Target |
The default rating for users is 1200.
Rating is calculated using your rank on all rated contests you participated in, while also taking into account your competitors.
To view your rating, go to https://dmoj.ca/user/HANDLE/. For example, to view 's rating, go to https://dmoj.ca/user/quantum/.
The ratings displayed on a post-contest scoreboard is the new rating of the user after they participated in the contest.
Note that the contents of this blog post are outdated. Refer to this blog for the current system and cutoffs.
Update: Contest is over! Ratings are updated, thanks for participating!
