During my bachelor's, I enjoyed long challenges on codechef. I was getting better (about to reach 6*), but what I found was that people started cheating. I lost my interest in it. And after some time, codechef also stopped long challenges. I majorly liked it because I'm not a quick thinker; I need time to think. But I can solve very complex problems for sure.
Even my friend kenechi once told me I'm like an old-time fluorescent tube light, which takes time to glow, lol :)
But that's ok. As long as I'm genuine with myself.
Hope for good! :)
