so i am practicing 1600 rated problem but i find them difficult to solve stuck on a question from days and even after reading the editorial its still something i can not really understand , can anyone help me or guide me how i should approach problems above 1500 , it would be really helpful if any expert level coder or above can tell me something from there experience?









I feel like problems around 1600 don't require a lot of depth but more "width". like it won't be a necessarily hard idea, but it may be an idea you never saw. so it might take you a while to solve if you have never seen something similar before but when you finally spot the idea it will be relatively simple to prove/implement/solve. when I was under 1600 I would basically just spam 1600 problems and I would read editorials after 5-10 minutes because it's just more efficient than staring at a screen for an hour.
Because you have not mentally figured out the pattern yet, obviously you will struggle. Which just simplifies to solve more and more. There's no true "shortcut" here.
