Luck
By omg, 4 years ago, In English

Problems on Codeforces take no skill. You just have to keep thinking of something randomly in your brain until you figure out the solution. It's random and takes barely any skill. The only reason why people with high rating are consistent is because they get lucky. Tourist, the best competitive programmer, cannot solve some problems on Codeforces. This just proves how solving problems on Codeforces is just completely luck.

I agree I am only expert because of luck :( sometimes I cannot even solve div 3 A. Hopefully my Math.random() becomes better

You are such an idiot lol.

Tourist can't solve some 3500 rated problems, while you probably can't solve 1500 rated problems. Your approach to how problems are solved is so, sooo unrealistic and only applies to very easy problems (1000 or below). You actually need to know stuff to solve harder problems.

I challenge you to do a 2000-rated problem. Even with all the luck in the world you wouldn't find a solution by yourself.

TL;DR gitgud
