Division A Round 3 2026
AUCPL Division A Round 4 brought to you by Adelaide Competitive Programming Club and sponsored by Susquehanna
This round is a special collaboration between the ACPC and the SPCPA. The first 13 questions are regular programming problems centered around a common story: the murder of Kevin Lac.
The 14th problem will allow you to guess the identity of the murderer. This question is worth 0 points, and is just for fun. Any teams who get this problem correct will be added to the "Detective Hall of Fame", with special places for teams who provide an especially accurate description of what happened.
You will not get feedback on this problem (submissions will be pending until the end of the contest), and only your team's last submission to this problem will be judged.
Good luck!
