Good morning/night/afteroon Codeforces Community,
Recently i saw the prices in Codechef and Codeforces it made me wonder how come Codehef gives much more money than codeforces and when i say much more i mean it.
The thing is that Codechef gives money to setting,testing,translation and editorialists and Codeforces only to setting as far as i know.
Lets look at the prices in Codechef (seting only):
Now from a friend of mine that is setting in Codeforces he told me that the whole Div 2 he and another one are preparing will be 200-220 euros in total.
Isnt that crazy?
That amount of money from a high quality contest in codeforces is same as a hard problem in Codechef.
I mean look at the price to set a Codechef whole contest: it comes around 530 USD.
Now i know its USD and not Euro cause i thinnk many people will say that i confused it but no i have done the calculations and i can see that even in euros its much.
One reason is that an admin told me that in Codechef Easy-Medium is same as Div 1 A / Div 2 C problem Codeforces so that means a hard probem in Codechef is around Div 1 C althought i dont believe it at all and i think most people wont believe it.So i dont think this is the reason.So anyone that has experience before and knows something please comment below.
Now lets go to the part of translation:
Testing:
And Editorialist part:
I mean here its just prices so since Codeforces doesnt pay these things there isnt much to say than just a big WHY?
Is it becuase more work,participants,what is it?
I dont think its any of those but i think a reason is maybe because Codeforces spends a lot money to preserve such good site and Codechef doesnt (thats why they have this whole situation with cheaters).
But still of course Codechef preserves its site so i still dont think it's this
It's not that i have something against Codechef or Codeforces plus that is better to whom sets problems in Codechef,i am just wondering.
I may be totally wrong but i was just tryong to justify the things i saw.
Thanks
