Hello guys, today we are going to talk about the best competitive programmer of all time. It's not tourist, Benq, jiangly or anyone you would think of whenever you think about the best competitive programmer. He not even an LGM and you probably even haven't heard his name. He is a hidden gem, overshadowed by flashy colors of other competitive programmers.
His name is Engineer Arik Rayhan. He is from Ishurdi, Bangladesh. As a partly Bangladeshi guy myself, it makes me proud. His current rating is 1437, and his max rating is 1603. But don't let his rating fool you. Because what he has, is one of the highest solve count in Codeforces, with a staggering number of solves of 10024. Even most LGMs don't have these many solves. In fact, the only other person to have these many solves is maspy, topping with a solve count of 10836.
But unlike maspy, he has some staggering achievements that no human have ever achieved. Because when you look into his submission heatmap, you see that most of the heatmap is empty. The laws of physics imply that, lower density in most areas result in extremely high density in some areas. In fact, most of his solves are concentrated in just 8 days. From 25th May, 2024, to June 1st, 2024. He had solved over 5289 problems. Which more than half of his entire solve count.
Indeed, he is the engineer of solving problems. On top of that, he is very humble. He doesn't show of his genius with flashy colors like purple, yellow or red. Not to mention he is very loving, as implied by his rating of 1437, which means "I love you forever". (Source: google)
Here are some more fun facts about Engineer Arik Rayhan.
His max solve per day is 2608 problems, on May 29, 2024. Which means, he solved ~109 problems per hour.
On 29th May, 2024. he solved 1346 problems. From 11:00pm to 11:10 pm. He had solved 32 problems, in just 10 minutes. Afterwards, he probably had to go to washroom. But he was back again in 8 minutes. Afterwards he solved another 20 problems in 6 minutes.
His longest minute streak is 199 minutes. From 2024-05-25 19:42:00 UTC to 2024-05-25 23:00:00 UTC, during this time, he had at least one submission per minute
He has more 3500s than tourist and jiangly combined, and ignoring the intersections.
He solved the entire Microsoft Q# Coding Contest — Summer 2020 contest, which had 18 problems in it, in 7 minutes, despite not getting a job in microsoft.
He knows a variety of languages, including python, C++, kotlin, Q#. But it doesn't seem like he knows Java.
He has an accuracy of 93%, basically he has an A+ in Competitive Programming.
If submitting code from the editorial was considered really solving the problem, then I should try becoming the best competitive programmer of all time as well lmao.
You should have checked his codes of the problems he solved. I hardly think he wrote any of them. If solving those problems were that easy for him, he would have been at least red or purple bare minimum
Have you heard of something called 'sarcasm'?
reading the blog for the first time couldn't make me think of sarcasm though
most likely that guy used some script to fetch top submission of problems and submitted it using the script.
honestly, these submission times seem just slow enough for this to not be automated. I really do wonder if he spent a week of his life just nonstop submitting code. Can you see if he had like any 8-10 hour breaks between submissions?
that would probably be his computer being shut down because he was sleeping
lol bro he has 3+ skipped contests and its humanly impossible to solve 10k questions on ur own in just 3 years...he just submit others' solutions and doesn't even try to solve them on his own ...stop praising him its so funny
He is just being sarcastic. It is impossible to say "He solved 109 problems per hour" with a straight face and not think that something fishy is going on. So please, everone knows this guy is at worst a bot and at best a fraud.
yeah my bad I didn't read the full blog at first
