[Milestone] Seems to be a Step for Me
By Little_Sheep_Yawn, history, 11 days ago, In English

Finally made it throughout a year! Congratulations to me!

It seems that the page can be different in different time zones, so it is quite normal if what you see isn't this graph. (FYI, I'm currently in China.)

Wish things will be better!

I highly respect how you've solved more CM+ questions than 800s.

    Solving 800s at his level would just be self decieving.

        What do you mean by reds do it? You provided link to only one profile. Could you elaborate further?

        Actually, if you do div1 + 2 / div2 / div3 / div4 often, the first few questions are always 800s. So if you actually participate in lots of competitions and don't do many other problems on purpose, it's possible that you solve more 800s.

I use the same extension. I went to your profile and saw the count of unsolved problems.

It is 0.

Now , that's what we call dedication and shear persistence.

Things will be better!

    You have to download a Chrome extension called CF Analytics. If you do not use Chrome, I'm not sure

    He's probably already there skill-wise. It seems like he just hates doing contests for whatever reason.

Cool. Very inspiring. How much time do you spend for solving every day (in average) and how often you look at editorials (when you can't solve a problem)?

    It depends on how much free time I got that day, and whether I want to participate in an Atcoder round or some others. On average, I would say 1.5 hrs or longer?

    As for the second question, I don't really have a time limit myself. If I feel like I'm going nowhere for quite a while, I would look at the editorial. And once I get inspired, I would continue to try it myself.

    Take G3 last night as an example. I was stuck during the round, and when I glimpsed through the editorial, I came across that there can only be at most one point that satisfies $$$left[i]\leq l$$$ and $$$right[i]\geq r$$$ , which could complement what I was thinking, so I tried solving it without reading the other parts of the editorial and finally got it right.

      Do you practice for a specific competition (IOI, ICPC, etc)? or just to improve your rating and/or have fun?

        Sadly, when I started this, it's kind of too late for me to prepare for those competitions. I'm already in the second year of master's degree now, so there aren't many competitions I can participate in anymore.

        Luckily, I had fun and kind of made some friends during the journey. I even had been in Kunming Invitational unofficially once with the friends who I would never have met if I hadn't done all this（Here is the board , and kind of why I hadn't solved $$$3$$$ problems on Codeforces that day. We managed to be the $$$4$$$-th.), which would be a memory to cherish.

What's the point of solving so many problems if you don't apply the knowledge in rated contests?

    There are lots of ways to apply the knowledge and I've done other things to apply it. Solving more problems isn't just for rated contests.

    The time of Codeforces round is always late at night in China, and I hate to stay up feeling thrilled and not having enough sleep for tomorrow.
