Below are the detailed results for each of the platinum, gold, silver, and bronze contests. You will also find solutions and test data for each problem, and by clicking on any problem you can practice re-submitting solutions in "analysis mode". If you are logged in, you will also see your own specific results below alongside the contest(s) you took.

USACO 2023 US Open Contest, Silver
The silver division had 2610 total participants, of whom 2071 were pre-college students. All competitors who scored 750 or higher on this contest are automatically promoted to the gold division. Note that due to an unintended weakness in some of the test data for the "field day" problem, data was adjusted and submissions for this problem were re-graded; promotions were granted in this case to those who passed the cutoff either before or after the re-grade (bear in mind that it is always a possibility that test data may need to be adjusted after a contest ends).

Final Remarks
The completion of the US Open contest wraps up our 2022-2023 season, which I'm happy to see had both strong participation and strong results. Looking at recent challenges and trends in computing, there has never been a greater need for those with strong computational problem-solving skills. Looking at our contest results, it is encouraging to see such a strong pipeline of future talent.
For those not yet promoted, remember that the more practice you get, the better your algorithmic coding skills will become -- please keep at it! USACO contests are designed to challenge even the very best students, and it can take a good deal of hard work to excel at them. To help you fix any bugs in your code, you can now re-submit your solutions and get feedback from the judging server using "analysis mode".
A large number of people contribute towards the quality and success of USACO contests. Those who helped with this contest include William Yue, Claire Zhang, Chongtian Ma, Brandon Wang, Benjamin Qi, Eric Yachbes, Aryansh Shrivastava, Danny Mittal, Nathan Wang, Richard Qi, David Hu, and Spencer Compton. Thanks also to our translators and to Clemson CCIT for providing our contest infrastructure. Finally, we are grateful to the USACO sponsors for their generous support: Citadel, Ansatz, X-Camp, TwoSigma, VPlanet Coding, EasyFunCoding, Orijtech, and Jump Trading.
We look forward to seeing everyone again at the start of the next season. Please wish us luck in our training camp and as we compete in the IOI and EGOI this year!
Happy coding!
