Codeforces rounds problems arrangements and points distribution

Revision en1, by m5588ohammed, 2025-05-19 17:09:24

I've noticed in the latest Div. 2 (Round 1025) a common pattern that often appears in rounds with multiple version problems, the different versions are usually placed consecutively, in spite of their actual difficulties.

In Round 1025, I found Problem D much easier than both C2 and C3 even though they had significantly lower points compared to the time and effort you need to solve.

i believe that rounds will provide a better and more fair experience for all the participants if they sorted the problems based on their actual difficulty and assign points individually taking into account how hard the additional observations you need to solve the harder versions for the same problem. i would love to read your thoughts!
