At only age 16, heuristica(Mingyang Deng) reached Legendary Grandmaster on Codeforces Round 564 (Div. 1). What's more, he won the first place in the Chinese team selection for IMO2019 and will be a participant of IMO2019.
It's a pity that IMO2019 and NOI2019 (a necessary step in Chinese team selection for IOI) are conflicted in time, and he will probably not be able to participate in IOI2020. However, he's in grade 10 now, so he still has the chance to participate in IOI2021.
Congratulations!

What's this? Is this related to wxhtxdy?
"txdy" is the abbreviation of "天下第一" which means "No.1 in the world".
Then EvenImage means sunset number one?
exactly
Good time for some repeating
Txdy means no.1 around the world. So 'dmytxdy' means 'Mingyang Deng no.1' :)
WTF!!!.. what you guys eat in breakfast?
I think they probably don't even need food.
funny hearing this from a German.

???
Come on man, don't do this to me...
Why? You don't like them?
Yeah that's it. That's the point of my comment.
Mandarins probably.
Great!
upd1: why there's so many dislikes? I just congrat a person(
It was probably inferred as a desperate attempt to get upvotes.
What will he do rest of his life?
dmytxdy!
dmytxdy
Really interested in how much time he practiced informatics considering he knows math that well.
Congrats, sincerely. DMYTSDY!
Hope in the future I'll be at least 1/k as successful as heuristica, where k is an integer greater than 1. :P
Of course you will! djqtxdy!!
aren't you like 14?
Now you are already an LGM!
$$$k \in (0,1)$$$ now!
Wow, congratulations! Were there any Chinese contestants both in IOI and IMO?
No, but i think this guy might be the first one considering he is already first in math and he usually participates as good as the IOI Chinese team on codeforces.
I am wondering where did he practice. He registered on codeforces only 16 months ago and hasn't solved enough problems to reach such a legendary level. Also his spoj account has single digit submissions.
There are many Chinese OJs that contain thousands of hard problems. Also now a days SPOJ has quite a bad reputation.
from where they find their solutions? from where they learn to solve hard problems ?
I think mostly they develop solutions themselves.
I don't know but I guess they learn by practicing (?)
Which are this OJ's? I always hear there are a lot of chinese platforms, but I have no clue where to find them.
www.uoj.ac
www.loj.ac
www.lydsy.com
But if you don’t know Chinese, this will be of little use for you.
Hi nocriz, do u know whether there are editorials for the CTS 2019/NOI 2019 problems on www.uoj.ac? If yes, where can i find them? Btw thanks for providing all the links above :)
Solution for NOI 2019 can be found in luogu. Tho most of them couldn’t explain the concept in depth and are of poor quality. (That’s why I hate NOI style problems lmao)
heyyolol retired.old.cake If you guys use QQ and understand Chinese, join the UOJ QQ group(197293072) and you will find official editorials there.
strong!!!!
And he is winning IOI2021 with a perfect score of 300/300 till now.
