Hi everyone!

I'm writing this blog to give some "constructive" feedback on the current state of the tasks in the recent CF rounds. Personally speaking, I believe that tasks are becoming more and more theoretical contest after contest (by theoretical I mean tasks that are not challenging to code).

Nowadays we rarely see tasks that require algorithmic thinking or coding skills.

I personally blame this on the procedure of proposing contests, it's natural for setters to start with proposing tasks that require some coding and later on replace them with theoretical tasks (which are easier to come up with) after their first set of tasks gets rejected by the coordinators.

In fact, some setters might presume that the vast number of theoretical tasks means that they are more probable to get accepted by the coordinators.

The point I'm trying to make is that WE are the ones who are creating these tasks, therefore WE are responsible for creating this mess. Hence, I humbly request the setters to try and come up with tasks that have a rather challenging code.

Hi

First of all congrats too Codeforces community for having more than 23000 participants in an official round

If I want to be honest I'm not really okay with Codeforces right now, cause recently its servers went down a lot and even in the contests there's a queue that is really annoying, I have no idea about Codeforces problems or why they don't fix these issues but, as a participant I wanted to ask Mike Mirzayanov to solve these issues (like the one that was solved before about the queues and system test speed, thnx btw ). Cause with COVID 19 out there, I spend most of my time in Codeforces right now, I am sure that there are others that are like me.

And last but not least just wanted to end this blog by some beautiful quotes:

*Dab when you cough *Dab when you sneeze *Dab to beat coronavirus

-Paul Pogba 2020

The last contest's Codeforces Round 590 (Div. 3) was very slow; every submit, was in queuing about 10 minutes. I've lost a lot of time.

Please fix these problems :)
