I have just finished a virtual participation of this Div 3.
At the end i have seen something strange to me.
There are three friends (i mean they are cp teammates) that were close on my friend scoreboard so i decided to have a look at their progression. Personally FBI always inspire me to keep going as he started as a newbie ans is currently Candidate Master.
Here are they and their graph progression :
Another amazing thing is that their current level is so close. I'm still wandering if there are other friends that started cp at the same time and have such progression together.
If you know another persons feel free to comment their name so that we can have a look at their graph. It may inspire some persons.
I know two friends ArSarapkin and Noobish_Monk, they also have very similar rating graphs, at some contests they even pass problems in the same order, for example on round 885
wow that is insane, i know another example btw
wow that is insane, i know another example btw
The probability of been so close at submission time is low and for over 3 years that's just unbelievable. I wished i had a friend like that when i started cp. It would have been so fun
lol
wow unexpected
My graph is very inspirational
I will tell you something. I have added you months ago as friend since you inspire me.
Hello, actually thank you, you inspired me to post a blog about our team, you can read it here (https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/122302)
There is an issue with the link you provide. Can you fix it ?
Idk why, but he deleted it
Answered below
Yeah, I know, sorry, after i published it my friend (SashaT9) asked me to delete it, because he found it really cringe because of our group photo that was taken during graduation
Basi idea of that blog was that we were classmates when we started our cp journey, and I think that even if you have almost zero experience i cp, but you have people with who you share same goals, anything is achievable (and there were also our achievements)
By the way do you used to practice some like the same problems ? Or everyone was doing his own practice apart ?
U know, when we were in school, we used to search for a random task and then we were competing over it (who'll get first ac, who makes the fastest code,the shortest)
I felt like Java and I progressed fairly similarly for a while, but then he got better than me, but he has taught me some pretty cool stuff, and I always enjoy discussing problems with him.
Also fun fact, we were ICPC teammates last year, and are good friends.
