Today I've taken part in AtCoder Regular Contest 186, solved problem E and spent the remaining 90 minutes not solving anything.

Then I've taken part in Codeforces Global Round 27 and spent 90 minutes solving 2035D - Yet Another Real Number Problem.

How to stop being stupid?

I'd gladly exchange my skill of solving easy problems with your stupidity

I would like to understand your thought process ?

were you stuck in finding the core-logic ?

Or were you stuck with implementation ?

In my case, I had found logic in the first 30 minutes while solving D. But I had to think a lot while implementation, to avoid getting into large numbers. Because, there would have been integer overflows. I had to split each number into two parts. 1) odd number, 2) power of 2's in that number. This took me more than 40 minutes to do it fully. .

I've taken part in Codeforces Global Round 27 and spent too much time solving 2035C, so I solved 2035D instead.

I think it's not uncommon to find that a problem's point value or number of solves doesn't always correspond to how difficult the problem is for you? At least you solved D in the end. :)

For example, I thought that problem A from today's ARC was harder than all the others, and that F from today's global round was comparable or easier than D.
