10 Things Only Codeforces Users Will Understand
By NoCap09, history, 5 hours ago, In English

If you've spent time on Codeforces, you've probably experienced these:

  1. Submitting and praying it’s not Wrong ans on test 2.
  2. Thinking you've solved problem C, but it’s TLE.
  3. Seeing "Pretests Passed" and celebrating too early.
  4. Getting a hack in Educational Round and feeling like a genius.
  5. Copy-pasting someone’s template and not understanding half of it.
  6. Checking rating updates like it’s stock market news.
  7. Getting -100 in a contest and swearing you’ll quit CP (but never do).
  8. Seeing Div 1 problems and wondering if they are even real.
  9. Hoping for an easy A but getting an implementation nightmare.
  10. Saying “just one more problem” and then realizing it’s 3 AM.

Reading a problem that's impossible to solve, then reading it again a year later and this time it's the easiest problem in the world

    Oh, and, of course, solving a problem in 10 minutes, then waiting for another 10 for Cloudflare to be convinced you're not a robot

Defining a variable name too long/stupid and instead of changing it, go along with it and get hurt everytime you write it.
