I've started solving 1400-Rated problems about 10 days ago but I'm really struggling with them.
Most of them I needed to read the editorial to solve or I ended up not solving them at all.
Should I just keep going or should I go back to easier problems(1300-1200-etc) ?
Start solving from 1000 then step by step increase the level.
I've already Done 50-problems in everything before 1400
Don't have some sort of a quota like "Once I solve x problems of this difficulty I can move up." Just solve problems that you find interesting for yourself and that you can solve, but not immediately. So if after 10 problems you feel like raiting is too easy for you, go up. If after 100 problems that raiting is still interesting for you, then keep doing it.
OK, Thanks
Return back to 1300 a bit, if you find yourself good at it, then go to 1400 problems and forget that they are harder problems. The biggest issue about upgrading is thinking that "OK this is a problem from a higher level, it's harder to solve so I will see the editorial", thinking like this is bad bro :(
Thank you
Sometimes official problem rating doesn't represent their difficulty FOR YOU. For example, today I solved a 2900 rating problem 189217482 by just finding pattern for small cases.
Official rating of a problem is decided by how much people solved it during the contest (and the rating of who solved it), so some problems (like 1775E - The Human Equation) has a high rating just because it's letter E or F (whose solution can be implemented by any beginner).
I'll keep that in mind from now on.
Thank you.
Rising-coder, most of the times its just the lack of patience. I also stop putting energy into a problem if it is a little too hard, requires a bit of thinking and go watch youtube shorts or tik tok because it takes less energy.
Honestly thinking on a hard problem is not as entertaining to me. I'd rather go do something else.
what suprises me is that , you after 13months were still consistant and reached almost 1900+ rating, proud of you man, you are crazy good
In my opinion, the rating serves merely as an indicator and nothing more. Often, not all problems receive an appropriate rating, which usually depends on several factors:
Furthermore, one's percentage of solving any problem at a given rating won't always be 100%. Mistakes by even Legendary Grandmasters (LGM) can occur, such as in problem B or even C(wait um nik says fuck you).
Ultimately, progress in solving problems at a higher rating often contains ideas that also apply to problems at a lower rating, albeit with some variations. This allows for encountering new ideas while reinforcing older ones. It's uncertain what's possible, but as "pupil" says to candidate master, it might hold true.
what about 2400- rated problems are u struggling with them? ORZ
Yeah bro you can solve lower problems
Why what?
Why did you comment my dead blog ;)
