Div3 Style
By farukkastamonuda, history, 6 years ago, In English

I think div3 must like to div2 contest . A and G problems are same point. So hard problems not important enough. And i think div3 pretest not strong enough.

Have you sold your mind to an ass or you are half minded. How many regular div3 participants are able to solve Problem F and G. most remains upto problem 3 or at most problem 4. so finally it boils down to typing test. div3 is not to increase your rather rather its nore like edu rounds to teach less than 1600 rated coders. it looks like you have no job. thats why always think of uselss things. lmao

It's hard to find an ideal contest for us, cyans. In DIV2 it all comes down weather you'll solve C or not. A and B are almost always trivial (even for grey guys), and D is very often off the table. In DIV3 we have 3 C-like problems to solve (granted that I haven't participated in DIV3 contests for few months). I guess if I really wanted to improve I should focus on DIV2 D (and Cs, why not, I can't solve them that consistently) more, but for a guy who just wants to try to solve a few problems every now and then DIV3 is more interesting because I have 3 not trivial (sometimes they are, but never all 3), but approachable problems instead of 1. Interestingly, I also find Div 3 B's often more interesting then div2 Bs. I suppose reason behind this is that div2 writers don't care that much to make trivial problems somewhat interesting (although even the tourist himself cared enough to make even a problem A interesting at least once :) (I'm talking about after New Year contest) ) .

As I see, div3 rounds are light versions of educational rounds. And this kind of round was formed for cyans and guys with rating under the floor to learn them(maybe I am wrong), so, what the problem? To be good at contest you should be able to solve different tasks fast and clear(if u can solve them, u try harder tasks). But shitty problems are also here(.
