Hi all!

This is my first entry on Codeforces. Ignore my bad English.

Over the last few weeks my contest performance was terribly poor. It's not the fact that the problems are too much hard. Even I can solve it on paper in less than 10 minutes with implementation. Then after coding, I submitted and and got several WAs.

The mistakes were too funny. Not clearing vector elements, not using parenthesis in an equation, displaying wrong variable, using a[i] instead of i bla blah... :(

I have a strange mentality. During contest time, I feel I need to solve quickly. As my friends are solving Div-2 A in less than 15 minutes, I feel embarrassed to be the lower ranked on the table. So, after seeing WA in a pretest, I want to debug quickly. I use a long long instead of int, resubmit, WA again in same pretest. (Isn't it funny?)

I don't want to quit problem solving. But, this is too frustrating when I make same mistakes over and over again. I hate being gray.

Is there any remedy against it? Should I stop taking part in contests for some time?

Any suggestion?
