Problem Solving Skill
By SO_NIK, history, 19 months ago, In English

There is something in problem solving that makes me feel proud, and it is stubbornness... If you decide to solve a problem, and you can sit for hours and upload the solution and get all the types of errors that exist on this planet, so that you can learn a new topic as well, so that you know how to solve this problem, and after dozens of attempts finally you accept... This is not thing easy, by the way, that one has the determination to remain stubborn with this view... and this is not the only benefit from the matter. No, this habit is reflected in life in general. I am really happy with this Skill <3

Sorry to pour cold water on you. You've already done over 1600 problems based on your record, but given your current rating, these problems may not have significantly improved your skills. Persisting with hard work is admirable, but finding the right direction for your efforts is the key to success.

    Only 600 problems are from Codeforces, and the rest are from Private and hackathon Sheets, which contain a contests and some new ideas.

      Problems are problems. If you practiced that much and you are still specialist, then there are some thing clearly wrong with your training, and you might better off just sit down and actually finding direction on what to train.

      I don't understand how that justifies you.

    Not everyone's goal here is a rating. And I haven't seen in this blog single word about asking advice on it. Person just wanted to share a joy of problem solving process and you guys came here from nowhere to belittle his effort and distract from this joy by THE MOST IMPORTANT NUMBER IN YOUR LIFE. Take things easier and don't bring your 5 cents if nobody asked.

      I agree with you. This is a skill that I care about for fun, not to increase your rank.
