Exactly 1 hour left here in India, and I am stuck partying with neighbours.... T_T

50 min remains. I just completed my cp Practice. Love from India

less than 5hrs left

It’s already 2021 and passed 3.5h in Japan!

Already 5 minutes into 2021. And of-course celebrating with you guys on codeforces ;)

3.5 hours left in Ukraine.

happy new year to everyone on cf

This is the only time of the year when people vote without ratism

It is currently 4:50pm Pacific Time (at least when I started writing this), so a little over 7 hours until midnight (I think? My math skills are not great).

I seriously considered writing a CF blog arguing that New Year is completely arbitrary to see what kind of responses I got. This is something I do actually believe -- although the length of a year is defined based on actual measurements of our universe, I'm pretty sure the date for the New Year was just picked by some random powerful person (which, according to this Wikipedia article seems to be William the Conqueror) and therefore doesn't actually mean anything.

However I do celebrate the fact that a significant amount of people across the world have managed to agree on this (although probably with a significant amount of coercion involved, given that the person who decided this is literally named "the Conqueror"). I find it nice that even in these divisive times, there's still something that many people agree on even though it's completely arbitrary.

It's now 4:58pm Pacific Time and I will go practice USACO. Also there's a good chance I'm wrong on a lot of this stuff. My research consists of skimming part of a Wikipedia article for around 2 minutes.
