Candidate Master by the end of 2022 challenge.
By kaislash., history, 2 years ago, In English

Hello Coders and Forcers!

A few days ago my friend ammar2000 made a Blog asking for advice for reaching CM. It gained some attention and in the comments, a challenge was created by coderdhanraj:

Naturally, as someone who just became an expert and still has 200 points to go, I accepted the challenge. And so did 17 others. I am making this blog for 2 reasons:

  1. To let more people in on the challenge

  2. To set some sort of punishment for failing (something like what ammar2000 mentioned in his blog) or reward for succeeding (although reaching CM is a reward in of itself :p).

If you have any ideas, or if you would like to join the challenge, please leave a comment below :)

Commentary about the Codeforces EDU
By kaislash., history, 3 years ago, In English

I recently started the Segment tree course on the EDU, I found it very helpful. However, I noticed a small issue: The theory section gives away the solution too quickly. As given by this example:

Solution for step 3 B

The full solution was described immediately, leaving the reader little room to think about it for themself. I think this would be a better way to do it:

Hint 1
Hint 2
Full Solution

If you have any thoughts about this please put them in the comments :)
