Hello everyone, this is Aryan. I am new to this platform as well as competitive programming. I just wanted to ask all of you , how dou think a question on reading it.

I will give you an example. In the CodeChef In september Lunchtime. The Watermelon problem (link : https://www.codechef.com/LTIME88B/problems/WATMELON)

After reading the problem I started putting all kinds of condition and for loop and stuff but still wasn't able to get the right answer. After the competition got over, and I read the solutions. It was just finding the sum and figuring out weather its greater than 0.

That was so easy, but only if you get to think like that.

So I wanted to ask you guys how you think out of the box or rationally after you read the question.
