Hey guys!

This year, I decided to start posting different videos other than some codeforces editorial videos, and so I decided to make video editorials on easier IOI problems!

You can check out the first video on IOI 2018 Combo I posted on my channel:

As always, please let me know what you think, so that I can improve my content, and please let me know if there is a specific problem you would like me to do a video on. Thank you!

UPD: I posted another video, this time the question is IOI 2022 Insects, which was the first (and only) problem I solved at the IOI! I'm splitting this one into three videos, so here is the link to the first part: video

Personally I think, uhh, commenting everything in the oj.uz submission works out better (for harder problems, trying to explain everything is painful and requires a LOT of explaination and proofs). Tried making video editorial for Closing Time, took 1 hour to fully explain subtask 3 :skull: Besides, readingniss fasster than watching videos, so there's that. Check out my submissions for split shortcut. For certain "constructive" problems, you might also have to draw stuffs, which is...hard to contain in a single video. Not good for your throat, even moreso when you have trouble communicating

    Hi! Yeah I agree--I'm making these videos so that I can share some easier IOI problems and solutions to a wider audience!

      ...yeah, totally forgot that Youtube coding audiences and actual soon-to-be IOI participants are 2 entire different group of people. Thankfully there's a lot of conceptually simple and largely benefits from visualization IOI tasks (things like molecules, insects, stations and, somewhat extreme, robot comes to mind)
