Thank you in advance(in case I make it to there)
That’s being kept confidential.
" Even learning new topics now is not as important as practice. If you solve till div2 D on codeforces, you are a purple/high blue. New topics are only needed for div1 C/div2 E and if you solve them fast, you have a high chance of being a yellow or red."
As I said, you don’t need to follow a list of topics and study it day and night. Just practice the problems, enjoy solving them and be good at solving them. Just this will take you to high blue/purple on codeforces.
Well, I don’t think I am qualified to answer this because even I can’t solve many medium+ level question. Maybe this(If you ask me how to improve your algorithm competition skill, I will give you the link of this blog. - Codeforces) can help you figure out the answer to the question.

Thank you.
u finally realised what I was telling u in the camp about practising instead of learning new stuff. For me it was the opposite. I only practised (at least the time that I am allowed laptop access around 1hr/day ) but procastinated on learning new stuff and so the camp turned out to be pretty helpful even though I didn’t understand stuff like suffix automata, fft and all but those easy lectures, informal lectures and stuff learned from people like u was a lot. Looking forward to implementing and practising that stuff. Btw, those words by Kevin r really inspiring.
This means a lot.
@mathecodician You said,“I like debugging more than learning new stuff”…thats…weird. And yeah, I am really happy to have been of use to someone and that you learned some stuff from me too 
I said I like solving problems more than learning new stuff. So, Addhyan said that for most people it was the opposite and asked whether I like debugging. So I replied ‘yes’.
