I've been in poor status recently, and it may continue...
funny
Could be worse: I got stuck due to local stresstests telling me I'd WA, so I didn't even get to submit for FST or try the next (sometimes easier?) problem.
(sigh/cry)
That's better
Once I was FST 4 in a row too, and I lost the belief in myself. I decided to take the "hair challenge" and hope that I will regain it. (Although it takes much more time than I think, since it is not as easy as getting Expert or Specialist).
Even red programmers didn't survive from FST. (Codeforces Round #792 (Div. 1 + Div. 2))
Relatable, I had FST in 3 of the last 5 contests I joined
The whole approach is wrong, which somehow passed pretests
The whole approach is wrong, which somehow also passed pretests.
Many people also used the same wrong approach though...
Forgot to handle edge cases on query range lol
Even though pretests could indeed be stronger, I would still blame these FSTs on my own skill issue ._.
It certainly feels bad to get FST and see ratings go bye bye, but I think it's better to keep your eyes on the future contests and keep a good mentality in order to perform better in those.
Yes, you are right. I will try to do that. Thank you (^ω^)
I've had an FST in 3 out of the 4 last contests I've done. Although kind of a skill issue. :/
People averaging <1 FST per contest in 2022: skill issue
