When I participate Div.2 contests, I always solve the easy problems(such as A, B or C) quickly, but then I can't even move on other problems. What should I do in that case?

Have you considered sucide?(Just a joke please don't take it seriously)
If you have nothing positive to say, you can keep quiet rather than making a fake account to post hate messages
kashmiri?

who is Anonymous 777?
kashmiri Bro
He is your long lost brother
Best advice:- Shake well and sleep :)
You can try learning algorithms/techniques which generally come in D and think for remaining time instead of wasting it
masturbate
1 month after following his advice:
I highly doubt if that's even an option to consider during an on going contest? Probably it can cause more harm to us than good as it is a distraction tbh.
"cause more harm" whatttt tf?? have some life dude
for me i'll go to sleep because it's midnight in China :)
Stop doing cp, enjoy your life, find a girlfriend.
ig solving next problems in contest would be more easier than that
so have you found a girlfriend?
I'll explain.
First, I'm still doing cp, as you can see.
Second, I'm not enjoying my life recently.
So, the only thing I could've done is the third one.
Man I'm logic xD
Does that mean you have found a girlfriend? I haven't found one yet :(
Just think about D until the contest is over or try to hack someone
Damn that's already what I do outside contest
anime:)
go touch some grass.
Refresh the page infinite times to see how my
friendscrush is performing.Your crush is doing cp that's cool :D
She has not participated for quite some time now. T_T
Lock the solved problems and check if there is a submission of those problems that can be hacked.
I have exactly the opposite problem: contests tend to end much faster than I run out of ideas.
It's possible that you can't solve the remaining difficult problems during a contest because you are even not seriously trying to do this. And I know that it's tempting to give up in a situation when you solved A and B, but only have 15 minutes left for C. In such situations I don't give up, but keep solving the problem in the remaining time and don't stop even after the end of the contest. This is known as "upsolving". Sometimes not giving up results in successful last minute submissions.
Push your head to its limit, then let the frustraited be your new motivation and use that to learn to solve that problem when the editorial is out.
Learn how to use binary search.
I think not all problems solve using binary search.
Why do you think so?
learn how to be better than 1000 cyans
Go to bed.
Thanks for all your advice!!!
In China, we often study some complicated(at least for me) algorithms and data structures.(e.g. Durable segment tree with finalized lazy) But then I found out that the Codeforces problems require a lot of thinking instead of learning a lot of techniques. So when I found that I can't solve a problem, I tend not to think that I'm in lack of a technique. Instead, I continue to think that problem(and that really helps!).
In daily training, I try not to ever take the editorial before I solve a problem unless the teacher tells us to do so. I think that will help with my situation a lot.
Finally, binary search is really frequent in Codeforces problems!
Actually, the advanced data structures are not that helpful to reach expert or cm. STL, BIT and simple segtree is enough.
Practicing is important though, as you can quickly think of the algo/ds used to solve the problem.
(btw, we're the same age lol)
it really doesn't matter that much, but if you want to reach your full potential you shouldn't do nothing, ever
this question is crazy to me because when faced with a hard problem for me I feel there is so much to think about I'm overwhelmed, it's like I don't know which path to consider because I have so many ideas for how one might try approaching the problem
