Regardless of the ridiculously tough leaderboard – way tougher than my Div.1 performance – it's still a good contest. The idea of problem DIFST is great.
upd I read the editorial for APDIS2 and found that I've got all the key observations for this problem during the contest. This problem is wonderful!
Agreed! Absolutely loved DIFST. Ignoring the leaderboard, the quality of problems in these Starters contests has been pretty good
Maybe it’s just me, but the number of people who were able to solve the problems (in div 2) seems disproportionately high given their difficulty level. It seems like ratings on CP platforms cannot be trusted at all anymore.
How do i even come up with approach of DIS-CARD by my brain, it seems very easy editorial, but i don't know like how i would reach from nothing to that solution. Help me if someone can, the quality of problem these days are like ABCs and not just math, great.
