I have completed my icpc regional contest this season, silver medal. And in 2025-2026 season, I will be a year 4 student, preparing for graduation.
It's time for me to leave. Codeforces is a nice website. Goodbye, Codeforces.
My 2-year competition history:
- Nov 2022, campus contest, bronze medal.
- Mar 2023, campus freshman contest, gold medal, admitted to college icpc team.
- Nov 2023, regional contest, bronze medal.
- Nov 2024, regional contest, silver medal.
what were your main platform?
Here, I think.
how can you solve this few number and became master ?
IDK. I don't think 600 problems is 'few' to become master. In stories, people solve 500 problems and advance to world final. (It's not the case nowadays, but early icpc. But my point is that 500 problems is a lot.)
how did you pick them?
How come I solved more than 550 problems and still a newbie?
:(
maybe IQ wait the blue guy may come
I am stupid then ig
You get stronger with more effort
Atleast you don't have min rating like me.
the blue guy he's talking about- 123gjweq2
hope he comes, he is very funny.
It depends on how you solve them, how hard they are, ...
I think you need to study more algorithms, constructive structures, tricks, ... and have a good tutor. It's great if you follow courses
Indeed, I need specific recommendations for YouTube channels. I would appreciate it. Thank you.
I would love to help you but unfortunately we are not from the same country, we do not share the same language. So it is better to ask the experts,CM, Masters,... in your country for advice.
Thank you for your time.
no
solve higher rated problems.
me too... :(
But I only started CP a year ago.
You must not think about how much you solve,
but about what you solved, I solved 800 archive problems and 300 of them are 800 diff, they don't help that much, the only way to rank up is solving hard problems.
You are not stupid, Probably not attempting harder questions.
I know i am guilty of that
Maybe because you solve mostly easy problems
Emotional Damage for blues and grays. I'm gonna touch grass and give up..
Because, he just solve higher rated problems in contest. that's it, simple. it's not matter how many he solved, it's about how he solved the higher rated problems.
Goodbye and Good Luck.
Bye.
U will Stop Solving problems, Participating in contests.... But still I guarantees u will open codeforces to see what's happening , Bcz CF is Love Anyways..Good Bye Sir
True. CF is love.
Can u please guide me regarding what resources u used to reach master rank
In your algorithm competition career, may I ask how many problems you have solved? I would like to reference this for my understanding.
I estimate
Don't leave it ,just take a break:)
You have solved 232+ problems in rated contests, I wonder excluding upsolving how much did you practice? Not sure if becoming a master with this much problems is easy!
No one needs to solve thousands of problems, just the right ones.
Define right ones
How do you choose the right problems?
First step would probably be to close codeforces in this search.
atcoder?
Can you please elaborate more on the "right problems"? Any platform to practice on specifically?
One really should find their own. But I think these help greatly.
May I ask what resources you followed the most?
recently cf has been changed to gf(greedy forces)
right? MikeMirzayanov

Good luck! I hope I don't have to write this blog for myself
Best wishes!
Good luck!
Any tips sir,, just randomly solving problems in contest and upsolving,,, contest and some sheet,, not able to learn two pointers, method of difference,, dp, trees etc,,, for cp any suggestions??
Welcome to the club, buddy.
What do you do nowadays?
Study CS at university.
Learned anything new?
Yes, a lot.
Goodbye!
people talk about 600 figure only with simply ignoring '84' more. When only a few problem can unleash our brain more than the before.
See you Soon CaveNightingale
