Why no Div 4 contests?
By Behram, history, 8 months ago, In English

It’s been over 5 months since the last Div. 4 contest on Codeforces. They used to happen pretty often, but now — complete silence. Not sure what's going on, but hoping they make a return soon. The gap is definitely noticeable. What you guys think?

I've been waiting for them for so long that I got used to div 2 & div 3 contests.

The reason why is simple : Users misuse it since the problems in div4 are straightforward so LLM's ( chatgpt ... ) can easily solve that

i've been in this platform for over 4 years now ( not regularly ) and trust me number of submission in some levels ( let's problem D in div3 ) are literally INFLATED the only reason behind that is users rely on chatgpt

I guess you can move on from the 800s spam buddy.

Stop spamming 800 and 900 problems and start to solve something like +200-300 above You just stay on your place and not moving on You have 234 800-rated solved, and it's 80% of your total sumbissions, it's not OK You are staying in your zone of comfort, that's why you can't progress.

But this is just a tip. You can do everything as you want
