How are problem ratings out for today's round?
By Ahmadsm2005, history, 3 years ago, In English

Problem ratings for today's div 3 is out. I don't think that is wise as there is still system testing and hacking is still opened? For example, I hacked someone's C just a while ago and I hacked my old E1's solution(wrote DFS instead of BFS). I think what matters are problems which are not solved quite a lot being hacked such as problem E2 or G and their true rating can jump at least 100 points after system testing in a non impossible scenario.

Yeah, people still need to see if they passed system tests

Also little curious, are the difficulty rating of the problems recently reduced ? i.e. harder problem has a lower rating now than say some months back. For eg, 1612E, during contest just ~400 people solved it. Although the number of participants have been significantly reduced due to offices opening, I think the same problem would have a rating of atleast 2100 previously. Is it just me or anyone else feel the same ?
