Ashishgup, could you please tell whether the testcases on which the solutions were tested at the time of the contest were only pretests or full testcases.

So, how was it earlier? Could CMs or experts propose contests ?

bitwise operator

how many new problems are added for div 2?

Could anyone tell why is this logic getting hacked for the 1st problem ? HERE

Let me try my luck as well

So only top 20 people will get a call for interview?

Does anyone have any idea how, where and when the ranklist will be released

Will the standings table be shown during or after the contest?

Like its a loss from both side, isn't it. Lots of people won't be able to participate and its' a loss for both codeforces and the people. Don't deny the fact that most of the users are from russia and india, so they have customized the time in convinience of both of these countries. Therefore, japan/NA people asking for time change cannot be heard but indian people demanding may be heard. Think practically

It's not a long contest, it's a short contest

I fear if the round is not preponed/postponed, there will be very less participation, maybe as low as 1k-2k

Did any top performer receive the free subscription offer for unacademy yet? I actually had unsubscribed from their mail as it was quite annoying and now I feel they would have send the message regarding the free subscription in the mail.

ahmad..

oh!! you opened my eyes....

BTW commenting to rank the blog on top :P

I am also trying to motivate others.

If you read my comment properly, I was trying to embrass you so that you go and focus on your work.XD

If everyone finds A difficult than B, than it is actually difficult, and if everyone else finds it difficult, then all would take time to do that question and eventually your rank would be good even though you had more penalty

and what are you doing ?

You are a good question

everyone talking about scam of jobs, referrals,etc. Meanwhile teja348: they did not give t-shirts... LOL

Sometimes, its also for the reason that you don't want your friends to see you posting silly things :P

anyone?

Its a bad habit . Should try to change it.

lol

kiss each other.

Could someone please mention what is the hack for problem D. So many solutions are failing

It helped me too :)

It's not about the formula. It's about how you are reaching to that formula. Definitely it was a very good Div2 C :)

thank you, I didn't read this.

It's nowhere written that participants will be considered as official participants for div3 or div4 based on their displayed rating. They'll be judged according to the original rating and not the displayed one.

correct

right XD

right

For the sake of learning, the contest was definitely great.

Obviously we would encounter problems based on class algorithms data structures as well as rare math topics.

If you were expecting common things like the number theory greedy or graph then it's your problem :)

I never said that I was frustrated because the questions were not from number theory or greedy or graph. If you read my blog carefully, I have rather admired the author for choosing questions from wide range of areas and it is our responsibility to be prepared for any type of question. I think you didn't get what I meant.

B is so easy to think, why would anyone go and search for it. Its just a waste of time. So are you OK with Div2 A and B being copied from internet in every contest? May be it was easy for you but could be difficult for many and they would search for it definitely.

For problem D, it requires you to actually think that BIT and binary search would work, only then would someone go and search for it on the internet. Most of the coders with rating >=1600 have at least some idea about BIT, or Segment tree. May be you want to say that problems which are from topics not known to many can be copied from the internet.

Everything is fine but please remove the tricks used to cheat that are mentioned in the blog as it will give ideas to a lot more people to cheat who don't know bout it.

right!!!

I noticed something new through your app when I looked into tourist's data. I found that he has practiced only 243 questions until now. So either he is too smart to become a LGM practicing only these many questions or he must have an alt. This leads me to think that so many people must be having their separate alts for practicing questions and an original account for participating in contests. Am I correct??

NICE idea!!
