Hello, Codeforces community!
Since I reached candidate master on Codeforces, I and my friend khaled97ha (who reached CM two months before me) were talking about when will we reach master? and after nearly every contest the one who did better would not stop talking and showing off about it until the following contest.
Recently, I and Khaled got closer to master and the race got much more interesting that some of our friends in Syria started talking about it.
However, in the last contest, I did so bad and Khaled did very well. He got so confident that he'll win the race and I'm a useless candidate master who'll never be a true master, so we decided to take this race into a whole new level and post this blog to let the Codeforces community know about it when I win the race (I hope).
We were looking for something the loser should do when one of us wins but couldn't. Any suggestions will be welcomed.
Another blog will be posted when the race is won. Get ready for literelly nothing!
You Hope Let's see
Us after 3 contests : experts
Master : Lol
Codeforces community: Loool
Some grandmaster read this blog by accident: loooool
Loser dyes his hair purple? :D
I'm totally in
Loser shaves his head bald?
I'm totally out
I would buy a master account just to see a bald Khaled
I'll do a contest for you for $69.
Stream on your channel? ;)
69
hmmmmm.......
rather than that make some videos that will help newbie like me. I will pay you the money and your channel will grow
EDIT: After the challenge is done, the loser has to take a picture of himself and put it on Facebook and Codeforces for a month xD
I would chat with him on messenger instead of telegram just to see his chat head purble-haired facbook picture all the time
Loser should intentionally become Newbie afterwards! xD
If khaled97ha accepts I'm so ready!!
Waiting for khaled97ha to accept this challenge!
I'm Ready
But we should see all the suggestions and pick one of them (which doesn't include anything related to hair)
Why do you want to limit it to just one? How about doing my suggestion and then RedNextCentury's?
Nooooo
Noo hair things :')
shave off all hairs on one leg..for a month.
I literally told him "let's do every single challenge suggested on the blog".. he may be afraid
Don't listen to him. Go for it your self!
Being bald means you won't be related to hair :P
That's what Khaled is afraid of. His Codeforces picture is Woody because they have the same hair length and he's not ready for such a sacrifice.
Nice one :>
Wow! I just saw you both reached Master together in the last contest and that too with exactly the same rating! Kudos and Congratulations to you both. Keep up this friendly competitive banter.khaled97ha and Naseem17
Thanks man!
Nice to see two friends getting better together.
Loser should stop giving contest after that(so that he may never become Master)
Even better than reaching newbie!
This is getteing more interesting!
Loser should use internet explorer until he becomes master
And code on custom invocation.
Finally some real challenge.
And Code only using one hand.
LOL!
Looser allows Winner to rename the account next christmas/new year.
Yeah nice idea
Here we go again!
I had a similar bet with my friend (Tekor) last year. He lost (YaKonchil means "I came").
I'm afraid that Christmas arrives and none of us reached master.
The loser should donate 20$ to charity or do some voluntary work. What a loser, am I right?
And now it's a challenge
Since both guys are from Syria, I know that 20$ is about the average salary in Syria these days. So, I think the loser can give the 20$ to the winner, and that would still count as a charity work xD
Lol nice one
None of them has a 20$
So sad :'(
.
Loser should install Windows xp sp 1(and use it ofc ) , and he should not use using namespace std and bits/stdc header file , and code on dev c++ (oooooohhhhh thats a hard one )
loser should wear girls costume and dance(shoot that on cam, then upload it in social media) :P
Lol, can't get better idea :P
This is more humiliating than funny TBH, and kinda cheap idea.
Very cool challenge!
Good luck to both of you!
I suggest that the loser help 10 people to improve their level in problem solving!!
Loser allows winner to write blog in his account
Decide beforehand about corner case too: what happens when you both become master at same contest?
If my blog was a "pretests passed" code and your comment was a hacking attempt, it would be a successful hacking attempt
Maybe break the ties using rank of the contest.
And it happened... (feeling proud XD)
Loser prepares a Codeforces round.
Actually, we were thinking about it.. hope you'll see us as contest writes soon :)
the loser should prepare a contest and all the contribution earned by that contest should be given to the winner
Can I be a loser?
The loser gives me his account
Good Idea!
Option-1 :Loser should make a contest in which no one solves all the 5 problems . Option-2 : Loser should share his codeforces credentials publicly and not change them
War’s bad don’t you want to sign a peace treaty?
I have an idea! why don't the loser participate instead of me in the next Codeforces Round?! I think I'll touch the sky if that happened. :3
The loser studies the whole biology book of 12th grade high school within 1 month.
Reaching Master or Even international master is so easier than this :')
Well, if the punishment is easier than the challenge then there is no motivation to win the challenge.
The biology book was the reason I'm not studying medicine or pharmacology (although I had enough grades), so I prefer dyeing my hair purple or even cut my whole head off.
Ok, how about the loser tattoo his arm this sentence: "Candidate Master 4 Ever"
It's satisfying thinking of Khaled's girlfriend leaving him after he tells her about the tattoo story. I'm in.
Deal or no deal? khaled97ha
About the tattoo or about my girlfriend ??!! :D
You have a girlfriend. You kind of already won but k
btw, both you guys are talking as if you are going to lose the challenge :D
It's so scary even thinking of retouching the 12th-grade science book :3
my brother is 12th grade so we have the book in the house now
and i feel like it's a sign for something
What if you both reach master with the same rating on the same contest?
You're a fucking prophet, you know?
can you comment : what if khaled97ha reach grand master in few contests please
what if khaled97ha reach grand master in few contests please
F ,both of you have the same rating as well so i reckon there is no way to break the tie now
wtf pranayhalo boy.How did u know?
Well... my comment aged well lol
Loser invite all Syrian coaches for shawerma dinner
Buying a Master account is so cheaper than this
how enthusiastically am i reading this comments!
Loser will be kicked out of "group of the year". Worst punishment ever.
.
what a cruel punishment !!
we don't need a punishment that can affect their lives
We dont laugh at mohamad fouad's jokes here
.
so there a people in Syria involved in something like CP! that's something good to know..Is it safe in the place you live ? are the schools/colleges still functioning ?
We discovered fire a few days ago, currently trying to invent the wheel.. the square shape makes it hard to move, trying to think of other alternatives
No doubt , this is the most funny comment i've ever read
How to upvote this comment twice?
Jokes aside, yeah most areas are safe, schools/colleges are functioning but kinda useless
Wow. What a coincidence! There is an Indian movie War where one of the lead charaters' name is Khalid ;)
CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU !!! But who won btw ? XD Both at 2117 , what a coincidence
It’s definitely not a coincidence. How did they pull this off, though?
If we had the required intelligence to make our rating equal we would be grandmasters now.
thanks , yeah really what a coincidence !!
Congratulations Naseem17 And khaled97ha Very good work! Let's start the competition on (International Master).
Thanks , sure we will
You both reached master in the same contest. And not only that, but with the same exact rating, so... who will dance in a skirt in the middle of the street or do some charity work? Both? None? Let's find out!
I'm afraid none. Read the second blog.
No way !! They have same rating i can't believe this.
Lol you both became Master in same contest and the fact is now you both have same rating.
