Hello codeforces!
About 10 months ago,I reached Expert after two years of practicing (well , I wasn't really practicing then )
But since being an expert , I nearly didn't miss a contest unless I wasn't able to participate , but I'm still going up and down in expert (and sometimes specialist too) , and I reached a rate more than 1800 only once, although I have some contests with a master performance.
And unfortunately, I accepted Ali_ZaiBug 's challenge that if i don't reach purple before the first of November(which is very soon) , he will upload a post on facebook laughing on me ):
Well, I don't really care about the post, but I want to reach purple before 2023.
So can I have some advices please ?
Thanks !
Best of luck and My target is to reach expert till december
good luck!
Sure bro, you will definitely reach expert till december, just be more cautious while copy pasting other's solutions otherwise your submissions will get skipped just like they got skipped in last contest (Codeforces Round #824 (Div. 2))
pun_intended
Yeah there comes greediness for question no C only but that was my last and biggest mistake...not gonna repeat again , (got hint from my frnd) I am having regret for that but that was LAST ONLY
Lol, bro all three codes for the problems A,B and C were copied.
i think CF skips all codes if one was copied, doesn't mean they did copy A and B
It's impossible .
i went from 1279 to 1709 in just over 2 months so dont be a party pooper :)
Yup i saw . You already have enough to get it there. Starting from pure pupil to expert is really hard .
even if it was impossible, there's no reason to talk like that to anyone, the goal is utterly unimportant here, if they reach it, awesome! if they don't, they tried and maybe they got to a different color.
I agree i was trying to give him a reality check but it was kinda rude.
good luck bro, even my target is same
Read my book
My journey from blue to green in two contests
It won't help
It will ! just keep hustling and more importantly trusting urself , I am challenging myself or anyone who wants to accept my challenge(come forward) to become expert till then end of 2022....
i wanna accept the challenge but end of 2023 to reach expert is quite long. why not make it by end of april.
what about end of this year 2022! LOL :D
but if there are 4 contests in a month, then it will be a little bit harder because then you have to perform good in every contest. i am fine with it.
We can give as best as we can ..challenge accepted ?
A little bit scared....but yeah lets do it
added u in friend list..Best of luck ..seee u soon

You're already a pinky-ponky coder, what else do you want ?
39 hours ago i was not
I will refer to CM as "pinky-ponky coder" and nothing else from now on
I'm up for the challenge. Count me in.
I'm in. Don't count me out just yet. I'm only 460 points off ;))
The best solution is to sell your laptop and look for a new hobby that is completely outside the field of computers. because this field is not suitable for weak people like you. I won't be able to bully much since I'm an expert now unfortunately :(
I have a new reason to practice hard now just to come back to this comment
well,after the contest, perhaps you are right ):
So sad
You may find this useful.
thanks !!
I want to reach expert by the 2023 , hope both of us can succeed
hope so
you and me both hopefully
This won't be life changing or something all of a sudden but an important tip is to practice more questions around and over the mark you are trying to reach.
For example I see you have an absolutely huge number of 800 questions solved, and only ~15 questions rated 1900, that number should be a lot higher. You should do much more 1900 — 2100 rated problems.
The difference between a person struggling to reach/stay 1900 and someone who is stable at 1900+ is the ability to consistently (and for extra bonus, quickly) do problems rated upto 2100, so a good step towards your goal is — Go out, upsolve ALL the problems in recent contests which fall in this range, give virtual contest and make sure whether it's during or after the virtual, that you solve upto D, and E if it's $$$\leq$$$ 2100
Thank you very much !! I'll do so
I think the number of 800 points is a bit inflated by contests (because Div2A is pretty much always 800) and problems that were solved a long time ago.
where is our challenge?
Coach ! your challenge is to defeat the first team of your university (Baraa, Naseem, ...)team. LOL
You're trying to say something impossible
I am still in !
Reject Baccalaureate, Embrace Olympiad
I can't and you know this
may you get your answer only after you tell me how to reach expert.
I think virtual contests + upsolving are the way to go since you are inconsistent with your performance, I also suffer from this problem since I don't do contests that often. so I'll be using this strategy for the next month if you would like to join me :)
Thanks ! I think I'll join you
Go solve hard problems, a lot of them
You should do so , too !
I am doing so, but you have to ;)
Maybe its because, you've solved very less (>1600) rated problems on CodeForces.
As I have seen in YT videos of some high rated participants, they recommend 40 problems of each rating level till (your target + 200). That would be 40 problems each of rating 1500 to 2100.
Don't take part in combined rounds.
Not necessarily, sometimes combined rounds are good.
Did I say they are bad?
I don't really agree In my opinion , you should participate in all rounds !
Depends on your goal.
Dude's rating nosedived after the blog
yes so sad:(
