Hello World :)

For non Russian — English speaker.

I think understanding a problem will help you to solve it faster , also the solution is all about understanding the problem. So tell me what you do to understand the problem statement. Thanks :)

    Sometime reading the statements is not enough.

    You are Arabic and i think you understand what i talking about.

    Problem statement written in English and Russian , So if the setter is Russian ,the statement will be translated to English in bad way, so you read something and setter means something else.

    If you solved that, help others. :)

      Well you can ask the setter what does he mean by anything you don't understand (assuming that the English version of the problems is not understandable)

      I've been in competitive programming for many years, I have solved probably over 2000 problems and I believe the fingers of my hands are enough to count the times I didn't understand a statement.

      There are times (still, not common) when I have to read it two or three times, but that's my fault for reading hastily and not paying enough attention. Finding a poorly written statement to the point of not knowing that it means is a very rare thing I think.

      If it happens frequently to you, I believe you should focus on either learning terminology or improving your English skills.

i read the statements slowly to get it in the first go.
however some problems are tough to understand, but then they are tough for others too.
so reread it if u doesn't get it.
it would speed up with time.

A technique I use is highlighting a keyword by Ctrl-F. It can be useful for a long problem statement.

Sometimes I read the input-output description first, then the statement. It becomes easier to recognize possible key points.
