Hey Everyone

I want to ask that what is the best way to do codeforces, rather then blindly solving random questions?

There's only one way to do codeforces right so pay attention pleb here you have the recipe to success:
1. Join a learning telegram group.
2. Join a contest.
3. Wait until the answers to the problems are leaked in the telegram group.
4. Modify the answer and send it as your own (If you get caught go to this post and say you're innocent, multiple time if necessary.)
5. Repeat until you turn green.
6. When you're green make a post mentioning how well you're doing, that you don't spend too much time practicing CP, and that you're next step is to become blue.

You're welcome.

  • If u are not familiar with basic concpets like queue,stack,bfs,dfs etc.Then read it from usaco guide.

  • After u r done with usaco guide start practising problems rating wise from cf problemset.Start from the rating in which u r comfortable for 50% time and uncomfortable 50% time.

  • While solving a problem hide the tags.

  • If u r stuck at problem for more than X minutes then see the tags first and then again think for Y more minutes.If u r still stuck leave the problem and return after some time.Do the same for atleat 2 times.After that see the editorial.(For me X=45 minutes,Y=1 hr 15 mins)

  • You can move to the rating X+100 if u have solved atleast 100 problems of the rating X or your max rating is more than X.

  • While solving any problem keep track of time and the problems u faced in a excel sheet.

  • Always give educational round as they are good place to learn new/well known techniques.

  • You can see practise staergies by visiting Galien Colin,Utkarsh Gupta and Errichto youtube channels.There are many other channels u can visit them too.

  • after every problem see some good implementations of high rated coders.Also upsolve all contest utpo problem c.

I solve a bunch of problems of the same difficulty until they start to seem boring, I would suggest you to solve problems that are rated 1000.
