All my problems got hacked, I'm devastated!
By Xbalanque, history, 17 months ago, In English

I solved 2 problems in today's div.3 but both of them got hacked.

Knave hacked my problem A

_WaterDrop_ hacked my problem B

Why people hack my problems always ?

I'm 1400 on leetcode but my rating on codeforces keeps dropping. It will drop further now below 700.

Why ? is the problem me?

How should i improve ?

Thanks! for help

hacking a LGM is a huge achievement.

I think the problem is in this line (at least at this contest):


if(t==567) cout<<"yayayayayyaya"<<'\n';

Ignoring the hack, your submissions look suspicious as hell. It has a lot of long comments that I'm pretty sure is AI-generated like "// Output the result for this testcase"

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS? IS THIS THE SPECIAL EDGE CASE PROVIDED BY THE LGM TELEGRAM?

I am 1700 on leetcode, but I'm still newbie on CF (~)

I know that i'm not so good at cp, but I have some advices that can help you:

  1. Not to cheat. As some people (almost everyone) here noticed, your code is suspicious (but if you wasn't cheating except one contest that was skipped, I apologize).

  2. Not to write comments at cf rounds. It is unnecessary and it is a waste of time (unless you used AI).

  3. Not to worry so much about cf rating. Just enjoy problems.

  4. Solve more cf problems.

  5. Not to write strange lines like you did at this round.

I hope it will help you.
