In an upcoming job interview, I am going to present myself as an exceptional candidate. The question is: how to explain to the recruiter that winning SWERC and solving 1662K - Pandemic Restrictions without receiving any penalties makes me an outstanding engineer?

the recruiter is from the 30u30 Forbes list btw

Your challenge won't be to prove to them that you're a good problem solver. It will be to show that these abilities are a benefit to their team. So you'll have to show that your software engineering practices are up to par and not resembling contest programming. That you can accept when others write suboptimal algorithms and not preemptively optimize code. That you as a junior programmer (in their eyes) can accept feedback and don't consider yourself too much of "an exceptional candidate".

Also it might help to explain that you don't prefix your production code with (from your submission):

const int magic = 68;

My personal tip is to bake pancakes for the entire team. They tend to consider that a major benefit.

    When/how do I bring out the pancakes? Should I randomly bring out a few pancakes from my pockets in the middle of the interview and hand them over without saying a word? Would that suffice?
