Is it just me, or are cf contests becoming worse and worse.

I feel like the quality of contests has went down significantly this year.

Problems in contests used to be original and fun to solve , but now it's very rare to find a good problem. Almost every problem is either unoriginal or very boring.

Problems used to be 70% observations, with the remaining 30% split between code and topics. Problems now are 50% observations and 50% code and topics, And sometimes even less than 50% for observations.

Not to mention the huge increase in cheaters which made problems rating go down. 1200 rated problems now feel almost twice as hard as they used to be.

I really miss أيام الخوالي (The good old days).

Anyway, Miku loves you and hopes you have a great day!

While everyone is celebrating tourist as the first to break the 4000+ rating barrier, No one has thought about the real reason behind his historic achievement.

What do you think it is? Tourist being good? No, it’s simpler than that—he’s just better than everyone else.

And if he’s better than everyone, that means everyone else is worse than him.

So, the true reason tourist was the first to reach 4000+ isn’t just his skill—it’s You. Yes, You.

Because if you were better than tourist, you would’ve reached 4000+ before he did.

In my opinion, instead of creating a new rank for 4000+, Mike should introduce a rank for -100.

Personally, I think this rank should be named in honor of the legend himself: vjudge36. What do you think the -100 rating rank should be called?

I'm a Miku fan btw.
