When I got 1550 perf solving ABC in the last round I became angry, but, somehow curious.

I made a survey on the Standings of my 5 last rated rounds.

I define the "pro alt rate" = P(you haven't reached cyan | you got GM perf in this round). Pretty Good.

R967 (Recent): 16/77 participants. 21% pro alt rate.

Edu R169: 9/71 participants. 13% pro alt rate.

Edu R168: 13/72 participants. 18% pro alt rate.

R960: 9/68 participants. 14% pro alt rate.

R958: 13/61 participants. 21% pro alt rate.

Man! What can I say! It's terrible! 1 in 5!

Mike says no alts, but somehow that's useless.

(Tips: The Chineses and Americans made the most alts, not the Indians. I noticed that, do not argue.)

If you are not Chinese or you are not interested just don't read this blog and leave no vote, thank you.

If you are a Luogu user, please don't post useless "qpzc"(*) comments under the MX contest announcement, in CodeForces the comments are not displayed in time order, making that action useless.

Here, your contribution is important, when a stranger wants to know you he will check your contribution. If you keep posting confusing comments, it will significantly decrease, and one day all CodeForces users will think that most Luogu users are nerds. The Luogu Moderators downvote every "qpzc" comment in CodeForces.

Spamming meaningless comments is not good for the CodeForces community.

*: qpzc = 前排支持 in Chinese = be the first ones to support a new topic ~ basically meaningless in CodeForces

Two years ago, one of the Luogu Moderators, PinkieRabbit, only solved two problems in Codeforces Round 773 (Div.1) and ranked 443, resulting in a delta of -154.

Following this event, many memes about PinkieRabbit appeared in the Chinese CP community. Everyone can now share memes about him on this topic!

[Edited: Poor grammar and nerd indents.]

Okay this is the problem:

Now, the normal contests begin in 22:35 (UTC +8), many chinese users like me have to stay up to 11:30.

I don't wanna stay up, so I do the contests when they are before 21:30. But half of them are kind weird so I got negative delta.

When I stay up, I am too tired to do the problems.

So I always cannot get my rating up to Specialist, even through I can get 1500 perf in Atcoder Beginner Contest and 1200 perf in Atcoder Regular Contest.

At the end I wish the contest holders:

plz, make more contests that do not begins at 22:35. (Also for some american friends who can't get up earlier.)
