Welcome to another Weekend Practice, a regular programming contest open to all skill levels and backgrounds!
This is rated competition for everyone.
Format and Difficulty
Same as the previous rounds, the competition is primarily aimed at improving practical skills. You will be given 2.5 hours to solve 5 problems of varying difficulty, the easiest of which can even be solved by beginners.
The scoring for each task being block-based, meaning points are awarded for each block of tests separately, and only if the solution passes all tests in the block. If there is a tie between two participants, the one whose last productive submission (i.e., a submission that added at least one point) was made earlier will be ranked higher in the leaderboard.
