Please Please ... A regular div1A problem next time :( :(

Hello

I noticed that Div1 contests problems' writers are trying to make div1A that kind that have an obstacle for the contestant.

[problem:http://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/555/problem/A]

you can notice that in yesterday's contest (for who participated)

the statement was very very cheesy so it was hard to realize what is the real target in the problem.

[problem:http://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/553/problem/B]

here we can notice that in div1B (but people said it was easier than A) but the statement was a problem too.

[problem:http://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/547/problem/A]

here the task was very tricky and it was harder than div1A regular problems

[problem:http://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/536/problem/A]

here it was really tricky too.

These are the last 4 div1 contests.

So what i wanna say is :

In the end it is a div2C problem ... so it isn't necessary to make it containing obstacles for div1.

Just make a div2C problem which isn't that hard to figure or solve.

It is just div2C i believe 80% of contestants in div1 must solve it.

I think all of you are thinking that if all contestants solved it easily then it is not proper for a div1 contest .

But i think if problems were sorted and clear and not "over-harded" it will be a more perfect contest.

Thanks.
