I finally solved that one problem I have been struggling these three days, personally I liked this problem, because it required me to make several solutions, stress test them, and even get memory limit :) which was fun figuring out. guess I will continue to solve usaco problems next month cause they make me think more and getting to learning tricks.

Today I was thinking about one problem for 5 hours and couldn't even solve it after those 5 hours, only after watching at the editorial I observed that my thoughts were only partly correct. It was pure dp problem, therefore I will try to solve more hard dp problems in following days.

Today I solved two problems which were marked as hard in Usaco, first one I solved in 2 hours and 15 minutes, idea was created after one hour of thinking, but debugging took it to another level, maybe affect of having 10 hours of school :), but anyways in second problem I come up with solution quite easily in 20 minutes and idk why just wrote dp transitions by hand 40 minutes straight. That's all for today, im hoping to solve tomorrow more problems starting from 7:00 to the 22:00. (btw currently im writing this text at 1 am, see you tomorrow)

Today I solved only one problem but it was from my weak side dp and marked as 2100, solved it actively for 3 hours and 18 minutes(at school too:)), I felt that adrenaline spike after finally solving it, and happy at the same time cause my solution is different from editorial, at the same time I have made metacognition of solution
