In last Edu Div2 round 12000ish people solved 3 problems. Today's Div 2, 8000ish people solved 3. What has happened all of a sudden since last 2 contests? My rank is going extremely down even after improving earlier I used to get positive change even after solving 2 problems. I have seen profiles of people getting positive change in specialist range after solving 2 div 2s in a contest getting ranks under 3k. But since past 2 contests it seems impossible for even a pupil to get a positive change after solving 3. I solved 3 problems today but could only get 6460 rank at the end.
last edu first 3 questions were easy compared to previous the differentiating question was d
cheating...
People don't become smarter but become cheater
bro there's tons of notorious people out there who just want to get fake sense of satisfaction; less they know that all you will have at the end is your knowledge and your mindset and not any website's or platform ratings and ranking. Yes, I absolutely agree that these bastards should be punished extremely. But this internet things have a tons of restrictions and less to no way to stop cheaters by 100%:( . I earlier used to participate a lot on hackerrank it got spoiled by cheaters, then I used codechef, is rotten by cheater on youtube and telegram, now we see same on codeforces. I believe the best we can do as of now is to keep doing our work and not to look into all these stuff regarding rating and rankings.....
As i know only in India hr using these sites to measure skill of coders for company. Not projects, previous experience and etc.. So it's only problem in India for now.
People aren't getting too smart, they just tend to act like the one and end up cheating with their future........Cz cheating will not help them in the long run.
They are cheaters;but i would say the questions were relatively easier also
although I was not able to solve all of them :(
