Hi Codeforces!
I was a ICPC contestant 10 years ago. In the past few years, I sometimes came here to participate some contests, and wandered between Candidate Master and Master. One year ago, I wanted to reach IGM in 2025. I decided to write a contest every day.
I try to solve all the problems below 2400, and keep the unsolved 2400~2900 problems in my mind. I keep thinking these problems, only look for editorial when I really can't figure it out. Fortunately, I got a great performance in the last Div.1 and reached IGM.
Thank you to all the contest authors, I enjoyed every contest and every problem. I will take a 6-month break and keep the IGM title. Then I will start over again and try moving towards LGM, see you soon in June.
Wishing everyone get great performance in new year!

Super Awesome. I will do the same and try to attend 1 contest daily. I will save this blog and will try to update after a year about my status. Thanks for sharing and motivating!

Veru inspiring brother , hopefully I can reach 2200 rating before June of this year !
Did you use ThemeCP for these contests?
No, first time to here this.
How did you give a contest every day? Contests have so many gaps sometimes between them.
If there was no contest on that day, I wrote the past contest (between 2022~2024)
what do you mean by "wrote". You were writting problems yourself?
nice one dude
insane man

this is motivating

Great inspiration, thanks :)
Impressive!
Congratulations
Where do you work now? How did you make so much spare time? I find it really hard.
Orz. This man is unbelievable.
How do you deal with the fatigue, i mean i feel i will forget what i have learnt if i don’t take breaks. How do you manage to solve such difficult questions daily and still think about questions you haven’t solved and practice more.i feel this is what it means to be a grandmaster. Congratulations on this excellent feat of consistency and improvement
Did you give just "rated for Div1" contests? Or unrated for Div1 as well?
Insane bro. Just unbelievable
This motives me to escape the expert-specialist hell I'm in, especially since I have less than 5x your problems made.
He finished the game.
yo welcome back for the LGM grind
