So the other day I saw this funny video:
Anyways, that made me wonder, what is the highest drop in rating on codeforce? And after checking thousands of contest results, here's what I found:

-382 | 1774 | Tlatoani |
-389 | 1148 | kiwikiwi |
-417 | 1696 | AutumnKite |
As you can see, the biggest drop is -389 rating. While impressive, this is far from optimal, since they didn't get last in the contest. Maybe some blackred can take one for the team and get an even higher score.
Update: someone else got last place and dropped by -417 :O However, they could have dropped more if they were patient and got a higher rating first (smh).
Btw, here are the smallest drops on codeforces. Some of these might be unfair because of the boost you get in your first contests, however with the api there is no easy way to tell.
