Dear Codeforces community,
Today I realised I should teach more people the secrets on how to become a Master in Codeforces like Sparky_WCH_Master1226.
The key to reaching orange is to just acquire some 4-anilino-4'-nitroazobenzene and spread it all over your keyboard. This will ensure that you absorb the most orange powers while you type code. If you are going for Legendary Grandmaster, replace that with squid ink.
Regarding 4-anilino-4'-nitroazobenzene, this dye is useful in conducting experiments with flash photolysis due to the isomerization effect between the trans-4A4N and cis-4A4N states that occurs during photo relaxation. Hence, I believe it will have the maximum effect on helping you become a Master in Codeforces.
If you are too poor to buy / chemically synthesize it, then you are having a skill issue. An easy solution to this is to bake some lemon tart. The following is a procedure written in English (not C++, sorry in advance) on how to bake lemon tart:
Make the crust: in the bowl of a mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg yolk and the milk, and beat to combine. In a medium bowl, combine the flour with salt. Slowly add the flour to the butter mixture, stirring until completely blended. Gather dough into two balls. Freeze one for future use, chill the other for at least 1 hour.
Heavily butter a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork, and place the shell in the freezer for 30 minutes.
While shell is in freezer, prepare lemon curd. Grate zest of lemons. Squeeze lemons to extract 1 cup of juice. In a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine juice and zest. Add remaining sugar, butter and salt. Place over medium heat, stirring once or twice, until sugar is dissolved and the butter is melted.
In bowl of a mixer, combine eggs and egg yolks until blended. Slowly add hot lemon mixture to eggs until blended. Return mixture to saucepan, and place over low heat. Whisk constantly until mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency; do not allow it to boil. Remove from heat, and continue to stir to stop the cooking. Strain lemon curd into a bowl. Adjust sugar to taste; the curd should be tart, but may need additional sugar if the lemons were unripe. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it right against the surface of the curd. Allow to cool.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove tart shell from freezer, and bake until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Spoon lemon curd into tart shell, and smooth the top. Bake until filling has puffed around the edges, about 30 minutes. Cover edges with foil, if necessary, to prevent over-browning. Cool to room temperature before serving.
I hope you have a great time trying to become a Master, and I wish you all the success in the near future!
Yours sincerely,
Acquiring master is easy.Just abuse div2s lol.
this is saying like , "being expert is easy just abuse div3's"
It's true though
re_titled orz. I am a friend of him.
Well, my experience is a bit different. I got negative rating delta from all my Div.3 contest participations. And it's likely that I will successfully continue this streak in the next Div.3 contest too.
On the other hand, I participated in 14 contests with no rating cap (Global or Div.1+2) and got negative rating delta in only 2 of them.
O...orz. Hope you have a purple account soon :smile:
Being LGM is easy, just abuse div1s duh
You had an average of +90 delta from the last 4 div3s you took.
So true, so true.
OR be like Zany and solve 3300 rated problems easily
Become international master and have a bad contest.
heisenberg approves
Current goal is expert, any tips?
The key to reaching orange is to just acquire some 4-anilino-4'-nitroazobenzene and spread it all over your keyboard. This will ensure that you absorb the most orange powers while you type code. If you are going for Legendary Grandmaster, replace that with squid ink.
So the key to expert, you should replace it with Copper Sulfate Solution.
thanks!
Any cheaper alternative?
I will add details of reaching expert/pupil/specialist. Please wait, thanks!
wait so if I make my keyboard vantablack, will I practically join Codeforces HQ?
Can we use Iron(III) oxide for LGM? I think it's a cheaper way :D.
squid ink lol
To be MikeMirzayanov spread Black Ink on your pc monitor not on keyboard.
Banana
Sir where is the childhood story before the recipe
This is a no BS guide
hi sir i believe sparky master has posted this before?
and recently sparky master has gone missing, does this mean you are his successor now?
Yeah.
Haven't been doing cp from last 2-3 years. Can anyone share opinion on if there has been any inflation/deflation in rating since then?
such blog gets 200+ upvotes! this is a total trash as a cf blog.
says the grey
maybe try listening to their advice
I used this theory, and reached master last year.It is helpful.
Me too.
What a meaningful blog!
Maybe a scientific one
Silly website with stupid people.
So if you want to be a grandmaster, you should code till you bleed on the keyboard, right?
And to become an legendary grandmaster, you should dry your bleeding blood...
Can confirm the bleed on keyboard part
Thanks to this blog, today I found out that grapefruit and perhaps other citrus fruits interact with many medications and shouldn't be taken together. Stay safe people!
Thanks for support!
What an incredible blog post !
i just want to have copper(II) sulphate then
sir wtch kemical shuld i add to be hedqutar color?
useful
it's been 3 days since I laugh now it's 4
My keyboard is black with red text, when do I get my Legendary Grandmaster
Why he tagged himself, restrict everyone one from tagging themselves:)
Update: I followed this advice and it worked👍!!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone trying to reach orange. 🧡
