Try breaking a problem into sub problems like for example if a question asks you to find something about a parameter 'k' then maybe thinking what will happen if k is 1/0/2 etc, might help. This thing won't help you every time but most of the time it works! You should definitely check out this blog https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/133289 he has gone into more details of problem solving!

      you will never be tourist, you will never be jiangly, you will never be orzdevinwang

      thats basically what he mean by significantly with bit of exaggeration, and clearly its straight up true

      and i believe at least 99% of human population are simply incapable to improve beyond orange

    It may have been true for you and that's unfortunate but it's not true in general.

      Well, to be fair, it is True in general.

        I agree everyone has a different peak thinking ability, but since we can’t determine what someone’s peak truly is, it’s pointless to make such claims.

Watch Um_nik screencasts, he is very vocal about his thought process, pretty easy to follow along.

Instead of wasting time & energy like this question and asking Chatgpt etc. expand your knowledge, read, solve, think critically and ... there are ton of ways out there the key is to just start doing them.

It depends on, which level you want to ask?

Till 2100 (master) anyone can impove thinking ability, but beyond that, it may be impossible

Solve more problems!

You definitely can reach expert with enough practice because I am dumb as nails and I got it.

As for general intelligence, I think you can not improve it.

Don't see editorial if you want to improve your thinking ability.

Think more. Summarize more. Read editorial less unless you can't work it out. Do more independent research.
