I haven't done any competitive programming in almost half a year, and it doesn't look like this is going to change anytime in the future. But for so long I've been part of the competitive programming community, so I wanted to say goodbye.

Before that, I'd like to say some last words. When I first discovered competitive programming, the community is what motivated me to start and to grind. I think the community is really great and encouraging, and without it I would not be where I am today. Hopefully, this community will continue to be what I remember it as. Especially in the age of AI where LLMs can solve almost all of the problems, I believe the true value of competitive programming lies in the community rather than the problems themselves.

That being said, I'm going to collect a list of some of my problems here. Most of them are from TeamsCode, so if you enjoy these, please sign up! In the future, although I probably will not compete, I might still set problems...

Sorted by how much I recommend the problem.

Pennant Hanging. My favorite problem, because it's so natural. If you try one problem, please, try this one. Inspired by my teacher Mr. G.

Legos. A cute problem, inspired by my math teacher Mr. F.

Waymo orzorzorz. A tribute to willy108's last teamscode contest. Inspired by doing this in real life.

Digit Removal. Inspired by a markov chain generator for problem ideas.

Castlefall. Inspired by the game Castlefall (which I played at USACO Camp).

Snowing. On the easier side. Inspired by, well, snow. Too bad this had to be pushed to the summer contest.

Combat on Tree. Inspired by a similarly-named problem.

Alternet is Cheating. A cute easy problem, inspired by the problem happening in real life. Too bad the statement is kind of long.

QFT Airplane. Kind of standard problem, unfortunately. Inspired by my physics olympiad friends.

Before I leave, I'd also like to thank smax, willy108, and the entire USACO community for helping me in my competitive programming journey.

Maybe I will still read some codeforces blogs from time to time. But for now, goodbye, codeforces.
