A suggestion for the problem setters

Revision en2, by notTehlka, 2021-04-11 09:00:37

Questions like 1512G - Short Task and 1500B - Two chandeliers have very less accepted solutions in slow languages like Python/PyPy. My suggestion is that if the setters/testers feel that majority of the submissions in slow languages would exceed the time limit, they can just give a disclaimer that the problem might not have a solution in slow languages. An example of this can be seen in Kick Start 2020 Round C problem 3. I feel that this will help users who use slow languages and will also not reveal much about the intended solution. isaf27, KAN, antontrygubO_o, MikeMirzayanov, please consider my suggestion. Thanks
