So I'm very curious to see how those factors correlate to your codeforces rating and other competitive programming accomplishments.↵
↵
I hope that enough people will answer those questions so we'd get a representative sample and see what works on average and what doesn't.↵
↵
1- How old were you when you solved your first competitive programming problem?↵
↵
↵
2- What is your primary programming language? ↵
↵
↵
3- How many hours do you (on average) train weekly?↵
↵
4- How many hours do you estimate that you've trained your entire life?↵
↵
↵
5- How many minutes do you spend on average thinking about a problem before giving up and reading the tutorial? ↵
↵
↵
6- How many hours do you sleep on average?↵
↵
↵
7- Do you drink coffee and/or other caffeinated beverages during competitions? ↵
↵
↵
8- Do you drink coffee and/or other caffeinated beverages during training?↵
↵
↵
9- How many years have you been training? ↵
↵
↵
10- How much did your school promote critical thinking Rate on the scale of 1-10 (1 being rote learning all memorization no thinking at all and 10 being awesome super genius teachers)↵
↵
↵
11- How many months did it take you to reach Div 1?↵
↵
I know that those are a lot of questions but please answer them so I can prepare some wonderful graphs and stats.↵
↵
Also feel free to suggest any other factors that might have some impact.↵
↵
Please answer in this [form](http://goo.gl/forms/TcmxOZ31Mb) because it will make the data much neater :D ↵
