ICPC Astana mirror stream

Today was the dress rehearsal day at #ICPCAstana, which means even more time for socializing and side events, the most spontaneously designed of which was Mike Mirzayanov's pushup challenge (recording). I was expecting that there'd be a contestant that would easily beat Mike, but it was not even close as Mike still had a lot of strength left when everybody else dropped out (the last 3 pictured on the left). Well done to all participants!

It is finally getting serious tomorrow, with the ICPC World Finals 2024 starting around 11:00 Astana time (official live stream, scoreboard and problems, mirror contest, list of teams 1, list of teams 2). As usual, there are many very strong teams that have been practicing specifically for this event, so it is quite hard to predict tomorrow's standings. We can just relax and enjoy watching the contest. But of course go #ETH!

As the custom goes (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022), I have teamed up with Kevin and Nikolay to participate in the mirror and stream the proceedings. Here is a link to our stream, and in case something goes wrong, you can look for new instances of the stream on my Youtube channel and/or my Twitch. Tune in tomorrow around 11:00 Astana time (in the past, the round has started both a bit later and a bit earlier)!
