Hello everyone, This is the link to the problem Problem

I saw it come up while neal was explaining Educational Round 99 E and I visited this question because I was intrigued by the Geometry involved. Can anyone explain me the case when both the rectangles are square, then the area of Intersection is = (Area of the unrotated rectangle — 4*(area of any one of the triangles formed after intersection)). This is the tutorial I want to understand the proof behind as to why the area of all the triangles are equal? I wanted to understand this. Help me. Thanks in Advance

Link to the video SS1 SS2 SS3 I don't know if what I did was foolish but since it only took me 15 mins(Reporting plus writing thia blog) I did it without much thought... Please streamers/Content Creators don't stream live during a rated Contest... I came to know about this through this comment just right now.

UPD: After I came to know that the video was alright and aired after the contest I replied to Youtube that It was a misunderstanding on my part.. Won't repeat this.. Oh man I am never going to such thing again and I should seriously get a job rather than doing such things without full commitment(which shouldn't be there I should not play the Detective here)

Hello everyone, I am sharing my thoughts with the community as to in what position I am, or what I feel right now. I do not know how exactly to describe it even. I have been inconsistent at CP since I started college due to various reasons, but mostly due lack of self-discipline, If I am being very honest. Just before a few months I learnt Graphs which was a thing that I feared because of this Image that I had created in my mind about it(I thought that Graphs would be highly complex to describe with programming and manipulating them would be even more difficult). But after giving myself push and learning through a paid course from this site which me and my collegemates crowdfunded because we are super poor(Joking), I was able to overcome that fear and I feel as if my skills have increased but that is not very well reflected at CP because I personally feel that along with the skills of DS and Algorithms, CP is also a sport of practice and consistency both which I think that I lack but very hopefully think will overcome by next few months.

But as of late, these urges of going into Web Development like anything and giving it my all have started to develop but I do not cross the bridge at times because I fear that in the long term it's not good since the base of Algo & DS is still not quite developed in me. And I have come across some blogs and what-not wherein the Developers at top-notch Product Based Companies have said that they hardly remember using CP in their work. And that's again confusing and People without much experience in CP making it FAANG and other great MNCs. I want to start developing things and see my visions come to life as soon as It can but feel like CP is a drag especially when I am unable to see the results for which I understand that I am completly responsible for.

I request some experienced coders from this community who are either working professionals or have their own thing(StartUps especially) to share what they feel would be right for me to do so I can also analyse different viewpoints and come to a decision.

Thanks in Advance, Cheers...
