If there are at least three things in this list you do not know, you are doing it wrong.
smh you should know subtraction and division
This was really helpful. I didn’t know what I was doing wrong until I saw this post and realized I didn’t even know half of these essential topics and concepts. Now I know how to get rank 2 on div 3s like Dotted orzosity.
Maybe the real essential topics and concepts were the friends we made along the way
ayoo tdoz sup kid
.
Dude forgot to add exorcism in the list.
What is this 'exorcism'?
An advanced algorithm for reducing execution time in XOR problems — hence the name eXORcism
I only know how to implement :3
Thank you, with this newfound knowledge, I can finally get to Specialist
Bro doesn't even know homotopy type theory lmao
"Things I know as an IMO contestant"
inb4 people call these theorems "algorithms"
You don't need so many algorithms, you just need to master the basic ones, such as enumeration, greedy, dynamic programming, data structures, graph theory, computational geometry
Note that he has got Rank 2 in div.3, so his real rating is far above specialist lmao
Note that he is competing on the USA IMO team this year lmao.
No way a specialist gets rank 2 div3 in one contest and then ranks 15K in div2 the next contest. You are trolling. You're probably way above specialist.
If you don't use the Droz-Farny quintic in every problem, then you're obviously a grey posing as a cyan.
A master trying to act as cyan and trolling noobs ...lol
Great to see you have secured rank 2 in div 3
Another demotivating blog..:)
Things from this list I don’t know (or don’t remember (or don’t understand what is meant)):
What am I doing wrong :(
Everything
Some of them sound completely made up 😹
All of them are real.
ur an igm and don't know LTE lmaooooo
Things I know as Expert:
certain you don't need most of these :(
ok dotted
Oh you know the Riemann zeta function? Name all its nontrivial zeros with $$$\Re\neq 1/2$$$.
It is trivial and left as an exercise for the readers.
