The competition has two parallel parts. The major part starts at the beginning of the competition

to skip problems.
For the Hurry-up series see the rules and the questions and answers below.
You will get the seven initial problems when the competition starts. You can expect new problems with the
Hurry-up series. During the competition you must solve the problems you have to get new ones or, in the second
