I'm just a blue

I'm just a blue. Yes, I'm only a blue. And I'm sitting here observing my queue. Well, it's a long, long journey To be a candidate master. It's a long, long wait Before escape from disaster, But I know I'll be a purple some day At least I hope and pray that I do But today I am still just a blue.

Gee, Blue, You certainly have a lot of patience and courage.

Well, I got this far. When I started I wasn't even a blue I was just a gray Some folks back home decided they wanted a purple son So they called their gang on WhatsApp, and they said You're right, there oughta be a purple. Then he sat down And wrote me out and introduced me to Codeforces. And I became a blue, and I'll remain a blue Until they decide to make me a purple.

I'm just a blue Yes I'm only a blue, And I got a massive waiting long-line o’ queue. Well, now I'm stuck being lazy And I'll sit here and wait While a few Codeforces contests decides my fate

Whether they should let me be a purple. How I hope and pray that they do, But today I am still just a blue.

Watch those Codeforces standings! Is that entire leaderboard about you?

Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones. Most blues never even get this far. I hope they decide to give me favorable delta Otherwise I may retire.

Retire?

Yeah, retire to my queue. Ooh, but it looks like I'm gonna continue! Now I go to my friends list And see my place.

If you placed well, what happens?

Then I take another contest and the whole thing starts All over again.

Oh no!

Oh yes!

I'm just a blue Yes, I'm only a blue And if my contest plan comes through Well, then I’m off to the system tests Where I’ll watch my friends’ places With a lot of other blues Pray my code passes edge cases And if it does, then I’ll be a purple How I hope and pray that I do But today I am still just a blue.

You mean even if in every contest you get Purple performance, you can still remain a blue?

Yes, that's called an FST. If I fail system tests I have to go back to practice And take another contest And by that time you're so old …

By that time it's very unlikely that you'll become a purple. It's not easy to become a purple, is it?

No!

But how I hope and pray that I do, But today I am still just a blue.

You AK’ed Div. 2, blue Now you're a purple!

Oh yes!!!
