Here are few words from Alexei Oleshov:
I want to thank the creator of the platform and all participants, especially those who left feedback.
I’m very glad that the number of solvers exceeded half of five hundred.
I apologize for the poor responsiveness to comments — I simply lacked the time.
I tried to reduce the difficulty by at least a factor of two compared to the previous contest.
I hope no one scolded me too much this time. 😊
