Hello everyone!
Codeforces Round #196 will begin in several hours (August 16, 20:00MSK).
You will mostly have to deal with Manao's problems, which this time range from watching movies and taking quizzes to treebuilding and battling evil undead.
I'd like to thank the following people for their contribution to this round's preparation: the Codeforces problem coordinator Gerald; Seyaua, who tested the problems; Delinur, who translated the problem statements into English; and Aksenov239, who proof-read the statements.
The points distribution in both divisons will be standard.
By the way, Sammarize mentioned he was probably the eldest author of a Codeforces round in the Russian version of his latest round's announcement. Since I'm even older, now I am holding the title ;)
The contest is over, I really hope that enjoyed it. The standings: Div1, Div2. Congratulations to top performers in Div1:
Congratulations to the winner of Div2, Ruthles, too!
The problem analysis is here.
