That post is just from curiosity and to check my progress :D . I searched before if there are relative posts,but I did not find anything,so I took the courage to write a post like that.
My question goes for people that are or was "red" here or in other site. So, what was your age when you became first time red?? There are red programmers with age of 19 and down,or there are not so young "red"??
Thank you for your time,and sorry if my english are not so clear :D
scott_wu
Why you just wrote his name?? He will be informed to see that post?
He's not as young as he looks like.
He took part in IOI2014 => his age is under 19.
And even under 18.
He is eighteen. Is it considered very young to become red?)
He's a cutie pie <3
If I am not mistaken, most obvious example is that of tourist who became red few years before 19. Am I right?
UPD I see, he became red here in 2011 while he was born in 1994. He became read at TopCoder in 2008.
Tourist is amazing coder,and also is one. Besides him,what about other "red" coders?
dnk, kien_coi_1997 — more obvious examples :)
That is amazing. Congratulation to the guys !!!
For more detail, we and I_love_tigersugar are in same school. (And I_love_tigersugar became red, but not until now)
Thank you for mentioning me :D
Is this topic written to find the youngest red coder on Codeforces?
I wonder, if you change your handle to kien_coi_2000, will people think that you became red at the age of 14???
Do you have two accounts? vanhanh.pham
If you notice vanhanh.pham's contest submissions . He purposely submits a wrong code in a div1 contest so that he gets back to div2 for the next contest . WEIRD!
Alex_2oo8 — best example ever:)
This topic will show you that lot of guys are red at much younger age.
Also, the number of reds is increasing, because the number of users in total (and therefore the sum of all ratings) is increasing. So it's not as awesome to be red than it was a year ago, for example.
That is just not true. This is the same as saying hey I am awesome because I finished second in five guys competition. Only percentage matters.
Maybe you're okay with being 100,000-th out of a million, because it's in the top 10%, but I'm not, because it means there are still many people before me. There is hardly any achievement in beating many poor coders, but there's a lot in beating many good ones.
A great example is TCO finals. Would you say that finishing for example 5th out of 8 best over the whole TCO is not awesome?
even finishing 8th out of the final 8 participants is awesome! :)
.o. was born in 1999, and he became red in 2013. He even set round 233.
is it relative with your age? What a foolish question?
14 years old...
With my post I did not want to find the youngest red programmer. I wanted to see the age of ALL red programmers. Anyway,the post was just for curiosity. Thank you all for your time and for your replies :D
I feel so old reading this topic :(
We can compete another direction as well! Became red at 27.
2180 rating currently, orange for now. But if you see my history I had a red moment a month ago. I'm 16 :)
Dont write such spam blogs please ! Otherwise codeforces becomes rubbish.
