Longest break in codeforces participation
By nocriz, history, 2 weeks ago, In English

After 33 months of no Codeforces, I've finally did another round today.

This leads me to wonder what is the record for longest break between doing codeforces...

    I was at world finals last week so I trained a little and found I might still be able to do some competitive programming

Well, I'm not a high level contestant like you, but recently I had a break of 3844 days between two codeforces contests, 10 years and 6 months! Lol I participated in ACM ICPC world finals in 2013, did some contests around that time and never opened codeforces again until recently :P
