Hello Codeforces
I was just wondering, Is there any kind of drugs to keep you focused during the round? a lot of times I get distracted and even I cant concentrate at all although I know the solution to the problem.
Any one tried any kind of this drugs? I read that "Nootropics" are helpful in this cases, but I didn't try it yet, and I know nothing about it's side effects, If you have any advice it would be really helpful.
P.S: I don't need something to get addicted to, just I want it to finish some of my programming projects in a tight schedule, and to improve my rating in some rounds.
Erdos used to consume Amphetamines:)
And it was the reason for his death:
"Amphetamines: a synthetic, addictive, mood-altering drug, used illegally as a stimulant and legally as a prescription drug to treat children with ADD and adults with narcolepsy."
not sure if that was the reason of his dead, but he could do maths >10h per day thanks to Amphetamines.
I think the question everyone is eager to ask is, do you do amphetamines?
no officer, and I don't know who is the dealer.
Not exactly drugs, but listen to bruno mars gives me that brain boosts.
Today I lost my headphones, and as a result could not listen to bruno mars without pissing off everyoneo around me. Therefore, I forgot to write sort(arr) and lost rating. Sad story.
Don't be like me. Listen to bruno mars.
Am sure it will distract me more
But thanks anyway.
I have another method. Drink alot of water and take constant trips to the restroom. You will find youself solving the problem as you travel back and forth...
I heard about a drug which helps people improve in contests and in general at anything. It has helped me improve my rating and keep my focus during contest. I do not know if you can cope with it.
If you use it for several years, you can become better at handling nerves and learning things.
Weed
Wait, Did you believe me? Do you want to know the real drug.
Practice

I'm very sorry . i didnt take that into account. Bruno mars is too addicting
Just take one bottle Jack and drink it during the round. It works.
codeforces does everything so be with codeforces.
why drugs ?
usually , the round takes 2 hours ! so if you have a good night sleeping and good food, this enough to be focused most of the day, and of course during the round.
also , you can take a break before the contest. at all, don't use any drugs/medicines unless you really have to use it ! take it easy , if you need a rest just take a rest and if you are tired don't participate in the round. your body and health is more important than any thing, please take care !
also , this is an answer form [user:https://mirror.codeforces.com/profile/I_love_Hoang_Yen] but i don't remember the bolg, sorry !
Here is the blog.
Caffeine in moderate dosages (100-200 mg depending on your weight).
Weed, it really can keep you focused on what your doing, however it has some other disadvantages.
i think you will be too relaxed and sleepy.
That's a secret weapon, use this force carefully
I thought that CP itself is a drug. The satisfaction solving a question gives is beyond the effects of any drug :)
Gang weed rise up
For Me,My GF(She used to be) Body's smell Used to Give Me energy To Do work
So you sniff your GF during cf rounds or what !
Drugs or medicine bring too much side effect, which is certainly not worthy if you just want concentration.
LooOooOoLOooOooOLooLOooooOoooL. LMAO. ROFL. Sniff glue. It will get you high rating.
I've heard LSD has worked wonders for some coders. You can even see solutions that don't exist.
