We highly recommend you try out the contest if you are planning to attend our beginner workshop in week 2 - it will be useful to familiarise yourself with the style of competitive programming problems before we dive into the basics. For more advanced participants, it's a great opportunity for you to kickstart (or compliment) your training for UKIEPC ;)
To join, please create a Codeforces account herehttps://codeforces.com/register and join our Codeforces group herehttps://codeforces.com/group/WfpD43Y7Ig. You will be able to register for the contest once you're in the group. If you have any questions, please contact us on Discord or email us!
The questions will be in roughly increasing order of difficulty. We recommend beginners to start with problems A to E, more experienced participants D to J, and the most experienced participants I to N - though feel free to solve other questions outside this range too!
When: Week 1
