A very simple question
By I_lOVE_ROMAN, history, 10 months ago, In English

Is it not a simple and correct assumption that if anyone solving a particular rated problem like all under and inclusive 1400 in contest time regulary like for 4-5 contests,he/she will become 1400/specialist?

Am I wrong here ?

If they can regularly solve that rating, probably yes like if u can solve 800-1400 easily(I mean in 2hr period) you'll probably become 1400

Actually, most people say that if you want to become rating x, then you need to be able to consistently solve problems of rating x + 200.

    what they usually mean is you need to be practicing x + 200 difficulty problems in order to become rating x.

Depends on the speed. If you can consistently solve up to rating x fast, you might be able to get a little bit higher. If you're slow, a bit lower. My peak rating was 1900 but I've never solved a 1900 in contest, I just solve div2D relatively fast sometimes.
