Why are problems in div 2 rounds made so difficult? Majority of the div 2 official participants are able to solve till problem C or at max problem D in some rounds.
If div 1 users weren't allowed to participate during the live div 2 round, then problems after D or E would see only a handful of submissions.
The point I'm trying to say is that at least keep the problems in such a manner that majority are able to solve them, and then time of submission would be the key to deciding the ranks.
If div 2 users want to improve upon their coding skills then div 1 questions are always open.
PS: I'm open to suggestions and feedback. I may be wrong as well, but I think in this way.
Cheers!
