What would it take for Tourist to lose 1st Place and the 4000+ rating?

Hello Codeforces!

First of all, congratulations to tourist on reaching the incredible milestone of a 4000+ Codeforces rating!

Seeing the mere 5-point difference with jiangly, I got curious about how close he was to overtaking tourist today.

Based on this blog by djm03178, I did some calculations, and here are the results:

  • Problem A: Tourist scored 741, solving it in 4 minutes. If he had taken 3 minutes longer, he would have lost 1st place.
  • Problem B: Tourist scored 1198, solving it in 13 minutes. If he had taken 2 minutes longer, he would have lost 1st place.
  • Problem C: Tourist scored 1409, solving it in 19 minutes. If he had taken 2 minutes longer, he would have lost 1st place.
  • Problem D: Tourist scored 1757, solving it in 38 minutes. If he had taken 1 minute longer, he would have lost 1st place.
  • Problem E: Tourist scored 1980, solving it in 65 minutes. If he had taken 1 minute longer, he would have lost 1st place.
  • Problem F: Tourist scored 1714, solving it in 134 minutes. If he had taken 1 minute longer, he would have lost 1st place.

Here is the code if someone wants to check if I made some mistake.

EDIT: As stefdasca pointed out in his comment, the difference was actually just 1 SECOND !!!.

EDIT: Updating so we can see his new color.

And for D he got it at 38:59, so if he had just a bit more lag and the AC time would've been into the 39 minutes, he would have lost 1st place, which makes it more remarkable.

E and F were more clear in that regard however.

      It is indeed truly remarkable, especially given that he had a slump to low 3300s not long ago and now the magic 4000 came when few would've thought this is possible just a year ago

        everyone thought he fell off, but he came back to assert dominance!
