Bronze
About#
Here you can find the solutions to the past problems from the Bronze Division since December 2015. In the future I plan adding more past solutions as I work through them.
Among topics most commonly given in the bronze division, we can mention brute force, simulation, greedy, ad hoc problems as well as some simplified graphs, especially in more recent years.
