First Div. 1
By Java, history, 18 months ago, In English

Hello!

I am going to be competing in Round 880 and I'm excited to be competing in Division 1 for the first time! I was wondering if anyone had any tips / advice for competing in Div. 1 as opposed to Div. 2. GLHF :)

I think it should be Round 880 not 800

Damn! I was expecting that you're using Java not C++.

Do not over estimate the problem difficulty, especially Div. 1 B and C.

Remember that (usually) Div. 1 B = Div. 2 D and Div. 1 C = Div. 2 E, so if you can solve Div. 2 D/E, you can also solve Div. 1 B and C!

    That’s a good way to think about it! Especially without having to solve D2 ABC, that leaves more time to work on D2 CDE / D1 ABC!
