As per my previous blog, I did not quite reach GM after Good Bye 2024:
That blog, however, was written before the 2053I2 — Affectionate Arrays (Hard Version) incident:
As a result, to the best of my knowledge, $$$4$$$ participants have been made unrated. While normally this wouldn't be that big of an issue, the $$$4$$$ participants deemed affected by the last problem in the contest were, naturally, quite high up in the rankings.
This, in turn, made me gain $$$2$$$ spots, which, according to Carrot, increased my performance by at least $$$5$$$ points, which means that I should have reached GM after Good Bye 2024.
