Hello! CodeForces!

The CodeForces's contests always 22:35 to 00:35 (next day), it is not friendly for Chinese or other countries people.

I think CodeForces can change the contest format like USACO, it means that there's a larger windows, but when start the contests, it will only have 2 hours to solve problems.

That doesn't make a lot of sense, the cheating problem is already big enough...

Sometimes contests start at different times, like the moscow one (I think), so maybe that should be more frequent.

Actually I always feel helpless about the contests time as a Chinese. We need to stay up late to finish them. However, in that case, we won't have a good state to compete and we even won't have enough energy to face the life and study next day.

I think as a world-class website in algorithm contests, CodeForces shoud think of a way to solve the problem of contests time for the countries which are in different time zone from Russia's.

I remember that plenty of Chinese soccer fans stayed up to watch World Cup. However, algorithm contests do not like World Cup, not everybody is willing to stay up to finish them.

In fact, I know that to solve that problem will not be easy, so I think everyone should give CodeForces enough understanding and support.

    $$$\Huge{No!}$$$

    I think CodeForces can change the contests format to USACO's contests format with 1 day window.

    That can solve this problem.
