why does his code have so many different templates and coding styles?

what bro the run twice problems in APIO 2026 (problems B,C) were fun too, it's just our skill issue

Agreed!

You two are way pro-er than I am

I'm a noob sir.

Ask Rayan Ferdous, the goat to teach you cp.

can confirm, lore accurate

FairyWinx isn't added as an author in the contest page

don't ask what, ask why (I'm scizo)

don't ask what, ask why (I'm scizoph)

don't ask what, ask why (I'm scizophre)

Sorry, buddy, didn't know your attention span had a time complexity of O(infinite)

I absolutely HATE people who don't reply with anything

Seriously, are you a Time Limit Exceeded? An infinite loop in the human language compiler? Imagine spending your precious CPU cycles crafting a beautiful explanation, laying out your thoughts with the clarity of a competitive programmer optimizing their bitsets, and you don't even get a response.

Like, excuse me, is your brain currently experiencing buffer overflow? Did you accidentally AND your speaking skills with zero? Maybe if I rephrased this explanation as a Codeforces editorial starring your beloved bitset waifu, you'd suddenly become responsive again. Honestly, next time someone hits me with a "", I'll just reply, "Sorry, buddy, didn't know your attention span had a time complexity of O(infinite)."

Do better.

and prefix sum and basic observation skills too

I guess I should have T_T

As an Arsenal fan, this is the only match I'll be watching which includes Arsenal and it's not complete haramball, so I have to consider

now I have to decide whether to watch the UCL final or to participate in a binary round.

I can confirm that one after Bangladesh TST

South East Asian TST

what is the lore behind this post then?

O(72) :sob:

very nice

bruh

I only got 10 points :sob:

oh noooo

now everyone will see how bad I performed :sob:

This is probably the workflow of the people who downvote:

1. see blog

2. see comment

3. made by low rated (newbie, pupil, specialist)

4. angy

5. downvote

just don't care about an internet number!

Edit: do you think I would care about downvotes? think again

lgm peltorator orz

wuthering wrong answer

you're a tester (of an LLM model)

copium level set to max

Looks like the only way to defeat ChatGPT now is to sneak in "is there a seahorse emoji?" in the problem statement.

:surprised:

orz RafsanAmin2020 for authoring your first international contest!

pls make the FTMPC problemset easyyyy

I expect an AK from Kevin114514

orz

Don't worry about that guy. He's just a racist.

Its a matter of if you like CP for not.

If you don't enjoy this, then you should find your true interest.

Also, you can try out some other types of "interesting tasks" (if you enjoy CP). that includes but not limited to: interactive problems, communication problems, partial scoring problems, and subtask based problems that appear in OIs.

This is very useful for debugging

katangens Suggestion: sort the teams by avg. rating

.

I'm not trusted? awww man

tested a div.2 contest before~

ah yes, every tester is in the range of [expert,gm] for a div.4 testing.

change your pfp

you shouldn't care about these downvotes

As a tester, I did not test. (yet)

Hopefully I'll author a codeforces contest someday

I lost my 0 day streak!

Problem F can be solved with implementation: [submission:https://codeforces.me/contest/1931/submission/323661770] don't know why I didn't have the idea of topological sort tho

I'm gonna test more contests!

Upvoted because I believe this is useful, even tho I can't read it

oops, my bad

no rated div.2 testers for a div.2 round?

this is exactly what I need to prepare for MO

As a tester, I forgot to make an "As a tester" comment

Tetris round

"The round is based on the Sharygin International Geometry Olympiad"

Don't say you weren't warned

hacks do not give additional points, but does failed hacks reduce points line div 2s?

red testers in div4?

they had a lot of oil; they had it coming ig

what happened?

did you change your handle from axial tilted to employed?

+233

aura++

if you couldn't guess, this is a joke

"How did that specialist get 2nd? I think he cheat. Please ban"

magic will include ranks such as headquarters, unrated, tourist/jiangly when?

bro didn't get the joke

its a tradeoff to reduce cheating so legit people could enjoy codeforces in peace

I am saying that employers shouldn't use codeforces rating blindly as some kind of sacred factor.

Instead, they should interview the person themselves in an environment where cheating isn't possible, maybe in person and use that metric instead of codeforces rating.

bro really said, "skill issue"

The best thing one could do is to do nothing and let it be established that codeforces rating means nothing.

If someone is truly good, then they will perform good in interviews or contests without direct internet access to the whole web, such as contests like ICPC or IOI.

Codeforces rating losing its value would be perfect as then cheaters wouldn't cheat to gain rating anymore, and we can enjoy codeforces in peace

codeforces round $$$1067$$$ $$$6 7$$$

I saw this comment and thought nor finally remembered his password.

And then I realized it was 23 months ago

ah yes, you learn binary search before you learn sorting

and you learn bfs — dfs before you learn stl data structures

Clearly, the way to go

these are AI generated suggestions

brain has left the blog

some codeforces problems did this too!

that would probably be his computer being shut down because he was sleeping

most of the bots were created 5 days ago and most use python 3.

Interesting...

I have a feeling somebody might be trying to make codefores unusable

how do you verify someone?

is mike supposed to go to their house and give them a cp quiz?

wtf is that gif

congratulations

Ah yes, you didn't cheat yesterday.

Putting your solution of E aside, here are your skipped solutions of B: 1 2 3 4 5

gotta love getting destroyed by communication problems

these accounts are all banned now

does anybody have a collection of communication problems to solve?

That would be good practice for them.

what could be the rating of A2? (if it was in a rated contest)

thanks for the good contest, but I also got cooked

well a 12 hour hacking phase is enough.

We should stop people from hacking solutions during contest; even if they have solved the problem

just ask the author

indeed, it is!

also, 37 is no ordinary number.

As a tester, the beauty of the problemset was more than $$$9223372036854775807$$$ so it overflowed

orz

1750 after 1000?

we are cooked

same problem

As a recommend, I tester this contest.

this might be (probably is) a dumb question but, Saudi Arabia in Balkan OI?

Think about chess. Not even every human together can beat stockfish or at least secure a draw. But has people stopped playing chess? No, that's because they play chess for the fun of it.

CP is the same; most people do CP for the fun of it. Yes, the invention of AI effects the people who want to get a job by getting a good rank here, not the people who want to have fun by doing CP.

I fear you've just doxxed yourself.

I'm sure rainbolt can guess your exact location now.

let's ban everyone from Codeforces!

everyone banned = no cheating.
