• Task Solu­tions

The organ­iz­ing com­mit­tee has resolved the prob­lem and account regis­tra­tion is avail­able again.

We kindly ask you not to cre­ate new regis­tra­tions if you already have an account.

The organ­iz­ing com­mit­tee has decided to extend the qual­i­fy­ing round by 1 day due to prob­lems with regis­tra­tion. Solu­tions must be sub­mit­ted by 23:59:59 UTC on Novem­ber 14, 2023 (which is 02:59:59 Moscow time on Novem­ber 15).

Here is the qual­i­fy­ing (remote) round of the competition.

Please remem­ber that your solu­tion of every prob­lem should include not only the right answer, but the full reas­on­ing as well.

We will be happy if your friends who like math­em­at­ics also par­ti­cip­ate. How­ever, every assign­ment should be done indi­vidu­ally; oth­er­wise, your sub­mis­sion will not be considered.
