Hey guys, I recently came across a very cool problem in a private contest, and had a lot of free time..

Being a huge fan of 3B1B, I Always wanted to make videos like him, Found this particular problem very interesting so decided to give it a try!

Please review it if you have free time :D

Hello cf community, I always get stuck at finding patterns if I have to create them from scratch, but other constructive problems around similar or even higher levels i can solve easily..

Eg of what I'm talking about:

Maybe i would feel much more confident and improve my intuition if I can solve similar problems, so please share if you have any construction-based problems that you feel is nice and tough!

Hello codeforces community, I have not yet done any virtual contests, and since it's the holiday season I have a lot of free time, and practice does not feel as exciting as contests (don't get me wrong it's fun, but I enjoy contests a lot more)

I am gonna do some, and if you have any particular recommendation for a contest that you enjoyed the most, please share it!

I know "enjoyment" can be subjective, so it does not matter whether it's good or bad from an objective standpoint, just give me some recommendations! :D
