Yesterday even after solving three problems i got a delta negative which doesn,t usually happens when you solve three questions at the rating where i am so i searched for telegram channels and guess what i found, I found a telegram channel with over 3300 members, I don,t want to write the name here for obvious reasons, here are some of the solutions that were floating there

Solutions of C:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <unordered_map>
using namespace std;
void maximizeGoodPairs(string &s) {
    int n = s.size();
    unordered_map<char, int> freq;
    for (char c : s) {
        freq[c]++;
    }
    string result(n, ' ');
    int idx = 0;
    while (true) {
        bool filled = false;
        for (auto &[ch, count] : freq) {
            if (count > 0) {
                result[idx] = ch;
                idx++;
                count--;
                filled = true;

        if (!filled) {
            break;
        }

      I think D1 can be solved in around 1-1.5 hours for pupil/specialist performance(with ABC solved beforehand). Finding the pattern was quite easy. Imo C is harder D1.

            there's just one unrated contest because of a code similar to a few participants. there are cases where your code can get slightly similar to someone else. i appealed for it but no response neither positive nor negative. couldnt do much about it so moved on.

              So, you are saying that you practise 1000-1400 and out of nowhere in a contest where you took 40-50 min to solve B which is 1000 rated and and in next 40 min you submit directly 1900. Pls dont make fool of yourself(joker emoji)........

                If I am not wrong we attempt B after doing A right? The timer shows at what time you completed it. If I start it at 20 mins and end at 45 that's 25 mins to solve it. And D1 wasn't 1900 rated that's a 1600 rated problem. 3rd thing I don't practice 1000-1400. I normally do 1300-1600 on avg. 1000 were a month back.

                  If you solve 1300-1600 then why you took 1 wrong submission + 16 min and then another 21 minutes to solve 800's in yesterday's contest.

                  I guess the solutions were not available till that time.....

                  How is solving tougher problems linked to coming up with solutions for easier problems and implementing them at GM speed? For the 1 wrong submission the reason was exactly trying to solve it too fast, thus coming up with a wrong approach initially (compromising accuracy for speed coz that worked with the tc 1). Second, B wasn't 800 it was 1000+ atleast. Taking that much for a problem you haven't seen before is normal. And B was greedy. Greedy takes observation and case making. Being able to solve 1600 rated doesn't guarantee you will solve <1000 at GM speed.

                  All the non cheating pupils(mostly) have solved first two in about 20-30 min and for improving speed and identifying greedy you have already taken TLE course. I guess thats not working for you....

                  Greedy not yet covered in TLE. And I took it for learning new topics not improving speed. Speed improvement happens by practicing more easy problems (your level — 200 rating) and solving hard problems comes with solving higher level problems (your rating + 200). Both are two very different skills.

                  And I didn't still get your point how does doing a 1000 rated problem in 20 mins show that a 1600 one can't be done in 60 mins?

                  Yeah I also solved till B in 18 mins and some of my friends(pupil) solved till B in 12mins. So definitely there is a doubt but maybe he is innocent and we are just doubting very hard

                  In codeforces round 963 (div 2) you took 6 freaking minutes to solve C and just check submission file. All the variable name clearly looks chatgpt generated. All you did was ask gpt to change variable names. LMAO.... I know you are person with 0 integrity and ethics. You wil be replying that all the time you were bloody trying B and C together....ahahahahhahahhahah..

                  Soln for B: 274401420

                  Soln for C 274404581

                  You have used such woderful variable (gpt generated names) and written C in 6 min .........WOW

                  Bruh I checked your profile your actual rating level ain't newbie/pupil. They can't solve 77 problems in 2 weeks. That too are mostly 1200+ means you are way too comfortable in 1500 or even 1600 rated problems. Maybe you are just coming from some other platform like codechef or something. Your current rating is highly deflated and isn't an actual measure of your skill level. It will get balanced in maybe 5-6 more contests but IMO your actual level is upper specialist/expert if you solved those problems on your own without seeing solutions.

                  You can notice this thing on profiles of many other high rated players who came here after practicing from other platforms. Most LGMs are like that who were already trained in cp and just happened to join cf later. They initially started from expert but if you see their contest ranks they got like under 20. That's an extreme example but my point is your case is similar and you aren't rated rightly as of now.

                  no bro I am definitely not expert level but close to 1400 level that's true as I am able to solve 1400 rated problems 30-40% on my own as of now. I am just grinding hard right now just reached in y 3rd sem and want to reach candidate master by the end of 4th sem (definitely too ambitious goal but I am trying) and let me tell you I don't even know dp and graphs till now XD I am just trying to master basics now :)

                  alright this is going to be the last one.

                  1. it is an old contest when i used to write proper variable names which can be seen in old submissions i made at that time unofficially.

                  2. no one works at 2 problems at once. we make certain crucial observations and if it isnt clicking for the time being we simply move on. and after solving we return to the old problem and try again. so saying things like "you solved them parallely" or "your took so much time for b and so less for c" doesnt make much sense.

                  3. you yourself admitted you are a cheater on a previous comment and from what i can see only cheaters are calling me out for exposing them here.

        In C ,there were two condition on which we can count a pair (i,j) in the answer.

        • s[i]=s[j](say 1)
        • s[k]!=s[k+1] and (s[i]!=s[k] or s[k]!=s[j])(say 2)

        now try to combine both, as any one condition will be enough...

            (s[i]==s[j]) or (s[k]!=s[k+1] and (s[i]!=s[k] or s[k]!=s[j]))
                cond.1                      cond,2
        
        
        

        try to find 1 OR 2.Breakdown 2 into smaller conditions and apply De Morgan's Law. I hope you will find the path to the answer. Hope this provides a new POV.

            (s[i] == s[j]) or (s[k] != s[k + 1] and (s[i] != s[k] or s[k] != s[j]));

            (s[i] == s[j] or s[k] != s[k + 1]) and (s[i] == s[j] or s[i] != s[k] or s[k + 1] != s[j]);

            this means for a substring a.....b there must be a X in between such that a!=X and minimum length will be 3 as ab is not valid but acb or ac.....b will add 1 to the answer each.

            so the task becomes to maximise the number of b's for every a..X..b, this will be maximised when a and X are not equal, and the string be of the form aX.....b and by doing this all rest of the upcoming b's will be valid.

            to tackle this problem we can equalise the most frequent character to the second most frequent character and then thereafter just alternating the characters while decreasing there count.

            i think i am not able to convey it properly. :(

              Problem C was to find best string where at best $$$1<=i<n $$$ and $$$a[i]!=a[i+1]$$$ which means you can use 2 letters with maximum frequency every step and find answer no matter what.

              And Problem D1 was just find best second $$$MEX$$$.

      As an Indian let me tell you why this is happening. 1) There are several famous youtubers that made all the hype about competitive programming for the crowd by saying cp will lead to million value income jobs. 2) Since the competition for Tech jobs in India is huge so even some companies are sorting to the idea of CF ratings for shortlisting of candidates. 3) The population itself is so huge that if something becomes a little famous here you will see inflation in competition. And some people end up resorting so cheating when they can't keep up with the competition.

        Yeah I completely understand if 2nd happens then also people we just post blogs why no rating changes so I prefer the current way the things happen and I also agree that cheating blogs are increasing after every contest which annoy us but can we do something about it? I know one of my friends college mate cheat and my friend told about that to me and said that guy is cheating consistently from 4-5 contest but didn't got skipped till now and he cheated in the last contest too and that just discourage the honest guys who have low ratings.
