If your team did not qualify, it only means that you have to practice a bit more.... it's not because the problems were hard. Don't be disappointed . Unfortunately, not all teams can go to the next level . If you train enough , next year you will definitely make it !

[10:15]: UH++ is leading the competition with 3 problems solved (all first to solve), the runner up 3N1?M4 has 2 accepted solutions. The first team of official contestants is Dominiruchi (drc) with 1 problem solved. Too soon to make predictions yet.
[10:32]: ULikeThis becomes the second team getting 3 problems solved. 44 teams have solved at least one problem.
[10:38]: After almost 40 minutes of competitions only 3 different problems have been solved so far. The set contains 11 problems . We have 6 teams with 3 problems solved, 22 teams with 2 problems solved and 27 teams with 1 problem solved. Leading each site:

[11:05]: The team
UH_wake_me_up!
is the
first team
that solves problem
H
.
[11:10]: If
UH_wake_me_up!
solves the problem problem
A
could take over the first position! It seems like they already woke up!
[11:20]: Teams
UH++
and
The Avengers
also solved problem
H
. Now they are the 1st and 2nd resp. in the
unified standing
.
[11:30]:

[12:58]: testMCL also solved problem E !
[12:05]: UH++ (current leader) is trying problem F but they got Wrong Answer .
[12:06]: UH_wake_me_up! solved problems A and B and is currently leading! This was a risky strategy, since both problems can be solved with the same code, but the easy version is notably easier than the second, as the standing have shown so far.
[12:10]: We have now 7 problems solved by at least one team.
[12:25]: The standing keeps changing all the time! The team 3N1?M4 solved problem D and is now at the 1st position.

First place with 6 problems , and following five runner up with 5 problems solved.
[13:30]: The battle for the medals is really exciting. The first 5 teams already have frozen submissions. That means that we will have to wait until the end to see who wins. Everything can happen !
[13:50]: The frozen time is quite active! There are 108 frozen submissions. All of them will be revealed with the dancing scoreboard .
[14:00]: The contest is over ! Mathematically speaking any of the first teams in the current frozen standing could win. It will be really exciting to finally find out who won!
[14:00]: The standing will remain frozen until 5:00 pm (Cuban local time).
UPD: In order to keep the result secret, actions on the platform will remain blocked until the contest is not frozen anymore.
