How to solve the questions? I need Help!
By anki_2806, history, 7 months ago, In English

Help me by telling me what should I do, when I don't get anything about a question. Althoug the topic is known.

On a good day I am able to solve like div 2 A,B,C. On an average day only 2 of the 3, and on a bad day just one. How should I solve questions? I want to know how to solve those questions that I know what technique to use but don't know how to use them??? Please help, I am stuck in newbie for like 5 months after getting on to a serious cp path.

Also After the contest I am able to solve them, most of the time without any help. Or if take a littl hint then I am able to soleve it.

You’re not stuck because you’re bad. You’re stuck because you’re at the thinking barrier, not the knowledge barrier. That’s actually a good sign. You should- 1. Spend 20–30 minutes thinking deeply: write observations, small examples, and what the technique actually guarantees.

  1. If stuck, read only the first hint/editorial line, then close it and re-try fully on your own.
  1. After solving, re-solve the same problem 2–3 days later without seeing notes to lock the pattern.
  1. Track mistakes in a notebook (pattern missed, implementation gap, idea gap) and revise weekly.
