I don't know how did this happen, but my rating just jumped up 300 points. this is just after the DIV 2 round I gave some 2 hours ago. I didn't even solve any problem but just attempted one (the easiest of them) and in that too failed, due to a time limit exceeded error.
I felt a bit down after that. But I was solving other problems. This has now boosted my coding engines. Now, I'll work twice as hard.
You may see this as childish celebration and a noob getting excited over something which is so common but to me its a first. I really don't know any coding (in comparison to the average coder of Code forces ) but this is motivating.
To be in the rankings, no matter how low; It shows that maybe I'm on the right track. So cheers to everyone whos working hard.
Keep trying!
Edit : I see some people in the comments have a bit of discomfort/unsurity about me getting a 360 jump. Maybe thier consternations are well placed and that made me wonder as well about things at hand.
Upon looking, I came across this blog from Mike himself : https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/77890
Maybe this makes things clear. IDK.
placed 1964, rating +570
place 13064, rating +360
I'm not sure about this guys
What are you not sure about?
the rating system
During the first 6 contests, new Codeforcers get a small rating boost...
I dont know how this happend too. What do you think?
This blog should help explain the calculations.
