Hello, CodeForces!

Today, I would like to discuss about an issue of Codeforces server rooms.

As you know, Codeforces Server Room is one of the hottest Servers in the world. For example, the mean daily maximum temperature in August is 95 °C, and if you turn on the radiator, it can even get up to a whopping 102 °C. Therefore, heat exhaustion can be a big concern. I think that even the following things can happen:

  • 5% of the CPUs will instantly die
  • 15% of the CPUs collapsed when compiling the code
  • 30% of the CPUs collapsed during running of the code
  • The remaining 50% were barely able to run the code, and returned TLE and RE verdicts.
  • Only 10% were able to run the code correctly.

If I were a CPU in Codeforces, I have a strong confidence that I could not even get to the server because I often suffer extreme discomfort at 98 °C (real).

Are there any tips or any ways of practice to get used to high heat?

UPD: temperatures are now more realistic. Photo credit: some QQ group, sender unknown.

This make no sense , even old cpu can handle 55C of temperature very easily

Obviously Codeforces can't afford to update their servers in time because of the rising price of potatoes in Russia. As we all know that rotten potatoes can generate a lot of heat and cook themselves quickly when using as servers. Maybe they can sell some roasted potato servers to earn more money.

singhsoumya_coder heated server rooms of Codeforces and Leetcode by submitting countless cheated submissions.
