Welcome to the online mirror of Stage I of the Ukrainian Collegiate Programming Contest 2026.
This contest uses the problems of the official Stage I, with the same time limit and scoring as the official participants had, so the conditions below are the ones the teams competed under.
Format
You will be given 5 hours to solve 14 problems.
The contest follows ICPC rules: a problem counts as solved only if the solution passes all tests. Participants are ranked by the number of solved problems. If there is a tie, the participant with the lower total penalty time is ranked higher. Penalty time is the sum of the times of the first accepted submission for each solved problem, plus 20 minutes for each rejected attempt on that problem.
Since only a full solution scores, there is no partial credit to fall back on, and solutions can be submitted in any programming language available on the platform.
