did you know codeforces is based off of a true story? in 1948 there was a man named com "pete" tetiva program ming who was forced to climb trees to earn rat rings. he passed away in 1990 after achieving 3000 rat rings achieving himself the leg and dairy grand faster title. in 2000, the geneva conventions outlawed the unfair treatment of tree climbing as a form of torture, and in 2009 codeforces was made to honor his name.

R.I.P. Com Pete. I heard his favorite son, Ian T. Ger, was also forced to dee vibe buy zero. Truly a tragic family history

Sad to hear that he passed away in 1990 :(

Even today, his code forces many of us to master the pro gaming techniques of trees

Com pete tetiva program ming also had to tell others many random things to earn Con Tribute On points. His friend "Car" Viz suggested com pete tetiva program ming to follow the ways of Sh It Post "ing" to earn more Con Tribute On points. He got in the "Top Con Tributes Ors" ranks by following the ways of Sh It Post "ing". The title of the rank is how the saying "orz" was made.
