Pretest Pain
By IliaTHR, history, 9 months ago, In English

The moment you see 'Wrong answer on pretest 2 :

You submit your code with full confidence, imagining +100 rating...

And Codeforces says: "Wrong answer on pretest 2."

At this point, you don’t debug the code, you debug your life choices.

Anyone else get emotional damage from pretest 2?

Wdym, "Wrong answer on pretest 1" is great!! You have the input test to debug your solution and you don't even get penalty

Wrong answer on pretest 2 is the absolute pain...

It's actually great if you fail pretests. You don't want to pass pretests and after the contest ended you check your submissions, Hacked! Failed System test! That's more painful.

In my opinion, you are thinking like this:

"You submit your code with full confidence, imagining +100 rating..."

I don't have this imagination in the contests...

Actually I want to know what is the next question while it is debugging :)
