Same here, for me Oct-CookOff because I don’t do Long now.
Long is often too much hard work , 10 days investment and less returns…
Though last 4-5 problems of div-1 are too good.

I agree with you all the way, but to let you know for the fact it is literally not a 100% match to the codeforces problem.(See what the question is asking)
for a 1st std kid, it is not 100% matching, but for any guy above 8th std and common sense, it is 100% matching, the original question asks for maximum and this asks for minimum , any one with basic coding knowledge and whoever has solved the question will know what one small change you have to do in the code to get minimum instead of maximum and vice-versa.
Its like a question came in college exam like this:-
Sort the numbers in descending order
But you say, that this question is from out of syllabus, doesn’t match what was taught in colleges or textbook, because they only taught you to sort in ascending order, so this is different question. Lol.
