If you've spent time on Codeforces, you've probably experienced these:
- Submitting and praying it’s not Wrong ans on test 2.
- Thinking you've solved problem C, but it’s TLE.
- Seeing "Pretests Passed" and celebrating too early.
- Getting a hack in Educational Round and feeling like a genius.
- Copy-pasting someone’s template and not understanding half of it.
- Checking rating updates like it’s stock market news.
- Getting -100 in a contest and swearing you’ll quit CP (but never do).
- Seeing Div 1 problems and wondering if they are even real.
- Hoping for an easy A but getting an implementation nightmare.
- Saying “just one more problem” and then realizing it’s 3 AM.
Which ones do you relate to? Drop your favorite Codeforces moment in the comments!
Real
uou have forgotten to add,find easy problem make an fastly solution and dont checking it submit it,and after an 20 minutes finally solved it
oh yes lol
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
XD
Newbies' bingo xd
11 . Correctly solving a problem and then getting an overflow error in contest and wondering where the heck it can be wrong
Don't forget about forgetting to MOD or not using long long.
So real
fell for it so many times
the queue being so long you just assume AC and move to the next problem until you pogger consecutive WAs
Defining a variable name too long/stupid and instead of changing it, go along with it and get hurt everytime you write it.
Try not tocry all over the comments section.Thinking reaching expert in 3 months is easy and not reaching even in a year.
The 3 one was a nightmare, and the 4 happened to me multiple times and I learnt that I would never use unordered map again.
Here's an interesting blog on the unordered_map Hash hack explanation following which you may choose to use them with an improved wrapper: https://codeforces.me/blog/entry/132929.
bro, pls, check my profile. How to become CM?
Time value with the diminishing score of an accepted submission. I've faced this one on CodeForces first and then on a TopCoder round.
Finally when it is, that green color Accepted verdict judge your submission is an eternal relief!

bro i've had that one moment when I couldn't even solve a div 2 A....
do not ever use std::unordered_set, std::unordered_map
