• No incorrect submission penalty.
• There will be no submission limit.
• Ties in score will be broken by the last submission time that increased your score.
• This contest is unrated.

Before the contest date, you may wish to check out the tips and help pages.

We have listed below some advice as well as contest strategies:

• Problems will be approximately increasing in difficulty. Reading all of the statements is still recommended.
• Remove all extra debugging code and/or input prompts from your code before submitting. The judge is very strict — most of the time, it requires your output to match exactly.
• Do not pause program execution at the end. The judging process is automated. You should use stdin / stdout to perform input / output, respectively.
• It is guaranteed that all problems and subtasks will be solvable in C++ and Java; Python users are recommended to use PyPy.
