Weird.. [Leetcode weekly 342]
By Heap_OverFlow, 18 months ago, In English

The just finished leetcode weekly contest. Why on earth problem D had higher Accept rate than C though D is supposed to be harder as leetcode arranges according to difficulty ?

Some statistics(contest submissions only) as evidence :

Problem C :
User Tried: 7872 User Accepted: 3349

42.5% success rate

Problem D :

User Tried: 5072 User Accepted: 2309

45.5% success rate

D was on Codeforces as well, so cheaters must have copied from here.

D was on Codeforces somewhere I collect, so maybe that might be the reason:)

Rate is higher but accepted number isn't, most participant after solving A, B try C, even if they get WA, they keep trying which makes accepted rate lower. Also as the problem was available on other sites was a factor
