Shape rotators and competitive programming

Правка en1, от TwentyOneHundredOrBust, 2022-02-06 19:38:10

Recently twitter has invented a new meme: shape rotators vs. wordcels. The gist is that some people are able to conjure and manipulate mental images (shape rotators) and others can't and must think in words (wordcels). Being a shape rotator is supposedly associated with success in STEM fields and high net worth. (Even Vitalik Buterin, IOI bronze, has tweeted about this.)

Of course, the rational question is: are shape rotators better at competitive programming?

There are a variety of tasks to determine if you are a shape rotator or not. Notably, the twitter meme began taking off with this image:

(Some individuals are unable to do this.)

There are a ton of other tasks associated with shape rotation. My favorite is zigzag, a rotation game where you attempt to last for as long as possible:

Two additional tasks are cubescore and apple, spoilered for brevity:

cubescore
apple

So, what's the relationship between shape rotation and CF rating? Let's find out.
