Good morning! ICPC World Finals just concluded in Moscow. I was lucky enough to be participate representing the University of Central Florida, who finished in a respectable 17th place.
While there, friends, acquaintances, and CF Legends signed my Codeforces sweatshirt in their handle with their current color. The most common request of the people I asked was to show off what it ended up looking like on a blog post of Codeforces, so here that is!
Signers:
- MikeMirzayanov the creator and maintainer of Codeforces and Polygon who deserves our eternal thanks, and Una_Shem without whose work there would be no sweatshirt to sign.
- tourist the legend and best competitive programmer of all time
- Petr the legend and programming philosopher
- Um_nik, KAN, and Ekler* the 2021 ICPC World Finals Champions, (who signed before being such champions), and their coaches vepifanov and ashmelev
- Golovanov399, AndreySergunin, amethyst0 gold medalists from the host university MIPT
- Monogon the contribution overlord whom you should upvote, and his teammate richzli from Perdue
- Benq, sqrtdecompton, and C_SUNSHINE from MIT, with their coach jcvb
- andrewzta legendary coach of ITMO and author of all ASC sets
- davidberard, .rem, ehnryx, from UBC and their coaches zhed and inutard
- RobeZH my friend with whom I had a friendly wager with to race to IGM, and his teammates top34051 and LUL____SEPLED1305* from Wisconsin Madison
- bicsi from the University of Bucharest who came in with the clutch sign 10 minutes before I left
- kpw29**, _h_, and zdolna_kaczka from Cambridge, the most obnoxious competitors I have met in my life
- miagkov** my friend from Stanford who competed against me at unofficial in-person NAP Camp, and his teammate andyshih12**

- TheOneYouWant representing the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay
- SecondThread me, my teammates Harpae and Xylenox, and my coach wphsucf
Thanks to everyone for signing it! I hope you all had a great time at World Finals, and I'll see you on the scoreboard on the next Codeforces Rounds! It was great to finally meet so many people who I've only seen virtually before in person. If you have any fun pictures from WF that you're itching to share, the comments below are always open.
sorry i forgot to sign
sus
how you convinced Um_nik to sign it?
He asked, and I said "sure". I actually think that this is a great idea.
kpw29, I hope you are ashamed of yourself.
Maybe, but then I look at your cphof and don't feel ashamed anymore :upside_down:
Pretty rude. I'd rather have no great achievements than fake and pretend to be better than I actually am.
Seriously, what's your problem? You're attacking me for random reasons thinking you're funny. I told David onsite that I've been red in the past so I'm signing up in red and he didn't seem to object. When you're rude to me it's 'jokes' but when I do the same thing it suddenly becomes rude.
What fake achievements do I claim though by signing up on someone else's shirt?
maailm sakkib
Yo why does written Estonian look like string problem test cases lmao
I never felt more jealous in my entire life.
My signature is also there but the color is grey :(
Can confirm <3
The legend himself, SecondThread, signed this awesome sweatshirt
Petition for SecondThread to rename his handle to autosexual once he hits 3000.
SecondThread did you explicitly asked kpw29 to sign with the current color !? Kacper was red before so he might think you're asking for the max rating color!?
Oops, didn’t know there was a difference! All the more motivation for miagkov and I to grind the rating ladder!
SecondThread I told you I was red in the past and I will be red by the time I retire...
For some reason, I doubt the second statement... Was carried by his teammates, doesn't recognise what is a good problem and what is not, is not funny... Doesn't sound like a guy who can be red.
Fair enough
how funny do i need to be to become red?
Somewhere between Cairo and Mecca
A tshirt worth millions
1000 cyans*
So now we can conclude that a cyan is worth thousands, and Um_nik is worth at least millions. Interesting, I'm hoping for a complete conversion table soon.
Hold up, if we're not careful here, Um_nik might end up being worth no more than a cotton sweatshirt...
Well, the shirt was valued at exactly 1000 cyans while Um_nik has only stated that he's worth more than 1000 cyans. How much more has never been clarified, but it is possible that he's worth far more than 1000 cyans.
the whole T-SHIRT is of MY color proud moment :)
Imagine the amount of money SecondThread will earn by selling this t-shirt in pawn shop in Vegas in the year 2040!!
I think you said me to sign but due to network problems I am not able to read your message. Sorry for that..
That's really a cool idea <3
It was a pleasure to meet you in person
you forged to tag the legendary contributor mr. monogon :catthink:
O orz
(btw, his handle is now Monogon, so he is tagged)
thanks . upvoted !!!
(I realize this comment makes no sense anymore, so here’s the explanation: it was 1-gon when this comment was written, and in January during CF magic, he changed it back to Monogon, so the comment auto-updated)
uwu it was fun in moscow, hope we will meet again in the future :)
Sounds like there was more drama you wanted us to ask you about :P
SecondThread I hope you're happy now, Mr Grandmaster!
Now you can retire in peace, ORZ
Lol I was expecting this comment
Nice job reaching 2404 rating!
Sincerely,
Mr. 2405 (You'll get here someday, keep up the good work :P )
Now I think it's time to say go to hell kostka, kpw29 became GM again :)
Actually, kostka's performances inspired me to perform better so I would thank him rather than being rude :)
