Please Please ... A regular div1A problem next time :( :(

Hello

I noticed that Div1 contests problems' writers are trying to make div1A that kind that have an obstacle for the contestant.

555A - Case of Matryoshkas

you can notice that in yesterday's contest (for who participated)

the statement was very very cheesy so it was hard to realize what is the real target in the problem.

553B - Kyoya and Permutation

here we can notice that in div1B (but people said it was easier than A) but the statement was a problem too.

547A - Mike and Frog

here the task was very tricky and it was harder than div1A regular problems

536A - Tavas and Karafs

here it was really tricky too.

These are the last 4 div1 contests.

So what i wanna say is :

In the end it is a div2C problem ... so it isn't necessary to make it containing obstacles for div1.

Just make a div2C problem which isn't that hard to figure or solve.

It is just div2C i believe 80% of contestants in div1 must solve it.

I think all of you are thinking that if all contestants solved it easily then it is not proper for a div1 contest .

But i think if problems were sorted and clear and not "over-harded" it will be a more perfect contest.

Thanks.
