Hello Codeforces!

Today I started LeetCode, solved about 20 problems (to my surprise they turned out to be even easier than I thought), solved C from the recent Div1+2, and also took part in the April fool contest. Due to some mistake at the beginning, the problems did not appear immediately, which is why I got stuck on A, I was able to solve it in the 14th minute, but I solved B in the 17th minute, and ended up taking 3000th place. I thought about С for about an hour, but in the end I couldn’t come up with a solution for her and decided to leave it for tomorrow.

Plans for tomorrow:

Solve C and F from today's contest, and as always continue to practice topics and problems

Till tomorrow!!!

Both of those problems are silly and wouldn't recommend to use for practice as they would only appear in an April fools contest. Maybe this time read the editorial.

Don't focus on the April fools contest. It is meant for fun, not to learn. If you really want to reach pupil, try and solve actual problems. Me personally, getting to pupil isn't that difficult, just practice coding the easier problems with speed. And, make sure you can solve any 800 rated problem, and make sure you can solve most 1200 or lower problems. Speed, skill, then you can get there.
