The following problem is from both the {{{1}}}, so both problems redirect to this page.

Usage

For a problem that is duplicated (word-for-word) on related contests, it might become difficult to maintain two versions of the same solution on more than one different problem page. The solution is to redirect the rest of the problems to a single problem, with the template {{duplicate|[[CURRENTCONTEST|pipe]] and [[OTHERCONTEST|pipe]]}} at the top of that problem page to clarify for viewers. This often occurs with related contests of the same year, for example the AMC 10 and AMC 12.

Such a page would also include multiple succession boxes to account for all of the contests redirecting to that page to preserve the easy navigation abilities.
