Hi Codeforces friends,

I am writing this blog after a long time of thinking. First, let me tell you I am not best coder here, but I have good brain and lot of ideas. You see, everyone wants to solve problems faster, but they don't know the real secret. They do DSA (data structure algo), but is that really needed? No. I am going to teach you something BIG today.

Okay, so here is my big idea. It is something I call the Super Genius Algorithm (SGA). This algorithm is so good, it can solve even hard problems in constant time, which means you don’t need loops, recursion, or anything slow like that. You are probably thinking: "How is that possible?!" Let me explain step by step.

Step 1: Pre-Compute Everything

First, you need to precompute everything. What does that mean? It means, before you solve any problem, you just solve all problems in the world already. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: "But how do I do that if I don’t know the problem?" Don’t worry, I’ll explain.

Let’s say there is a problem where you need to calculate the sum of two numbers. Normally, people would write something like this:

int sum(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

WRONG. This is SLOW because you are adding numbers every time. Instead, you should precompute the sum of every possible pair of numbers and store it in a giant array. Something like:

int sum[1001][1001];
for (int i = 0; i <= 1000; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j <= 1000; j++) {
        sum[i][j] = i + j;
    }
}

Now when you need the sum, you just do this:

cout << sum[a][b] << endl;

BOOM. O(1) time. No addition needed.

Step 2: Hard Problems? Just Guess the Answer

For harder problems like DP or graphs, you might think precomputing is not possible. But here is where my genius idea comes in: you don’t need to solve the problem to get the answer. You just need to guess it. Let me explain.

Most problems have constraints like "the answer will be between 1 and 1000." So, why not just write this?

int answer = rand() % 1000 + 1;
cout << answer << endl;

If your guess is wrong, then just submit again with a different random number. Eventually, you’ll get it right. This is called Monte Carlo Algorithm, which I read about on Wikipedia. Smart people use this method, so why not us?

Step 3: Write Code Without Coding

Here is another secret nobody will tell you. You don’t actually need to code to solve problems. Just write some random stuff in your submission, like this:

// Sorry, I ran out of time, but here is a cool algorithm I was thinking about.
// I think this should look good:
int main() {
    cout << "Hello, World!" << endl;
}

Sometimes, the problem setters feel sorry for you and give you partial points. I got 12 points this way once in a Div. 3 contest, so trust me, it works.

Final thoughts:

If you follow my Super Genius Algorithm (SGA), I guarantee you will become a red coder in no time. Some people will say this is trolling, but that’s because they are jealous of my genius. Don’t listen to the haters.

Remember, programming is not about writing good code. It’s about writing code that works. And if it doesn’t work, then it’s the problem setter’s fault, not yours.

Good luck, and see you in Div. 1 soon!
