Geroin's blog

Have you read my first post? If no, please read it before this. My, teammate, marzipan

Has had a registration on codeforces for over 4 years and he decided to publish a post on his blog for the first time.

And this post immediately became the top -2 in number of votes on Codeforces! And my teammate himself is top -1 in contribution and in total contribution of all posts. Codeforces has been waiting for my teammate's word for 14 years! And now, after so many years of waiting, we have heard it and Codeforces is covered in house.

Hooray, long live marzipan!

In all seriousness, it's pretty sad. Arseniy (marzipan) prepared really cool problems, he tried to make the best samples, he added all the little testcases to the samples that broke the testers' decisions. The round was prepared by guys from Lyceum 31, including marzipan, and their tasks are really great.

I think that because of task H (and even more so because of task G) the round should be unranked, but there was nothing the guys could do. They were forced to remove a task (which, you see, is similar to a task from IMO '86 (according to errorgorn, I think)), but add a task that is googleable on the first internet query.

marzipan himself gave the round task E (and not only), which I think is the best task of the contest, by a combination of all factors. I am very sorry that this happened to him, please be sympathetic to this situation.

But please put dislikes on his post))))) let him go down in history as a top -1 post with his first post) Especially since the round deserves it))))).

Yes, this is a flaw of the voting system.
