      Definitely not. A was easier than B and C. You can see the number of submissions.

        More number of submissions does not always mean an easier problem.

            It means most people are stubborn like me and won't try next problem without doing the previous one, even if it turns out to be 'easier'

              Downvoting people are those who cannot solve maths related problems

Difficulty is subjective and every problemsetter already tries their best to estimate difficulty. But there will always be mistakes because no one can predict the future.
