You don’t need to demotivate. Take it as a motivation that after trying with genuine efforts you finally cracked the problem. Rank does not decides the capability of anyone.

Bro…y ur qn is so tough and too long?? Padhte padhte thak gaya 
Really very disappointing from the coders(actually cheaters not coders) who are cheating from the past 2-3 long challenges and really disappointing for the one who tries very hard to solve 2-3 problems and what he gets is 10k+ranks on the last day and the ranks continuously increasing just like a logarithmic graph… 
Same here bro, thinking about it from 4 days still couldn’t come up with the perfect approach.

obviously from 1st day i am looking that cheswp and cov19b submission was 2.5k approx but today submission goes to 6k in only 3 hours.
this decreases rating of student who is doing by itself. Its really very demotivating.

That question was really stupid imo I haven’t learnt a thing from that question it was just time consuming … and I wasted 4 days on that question. I was literally searching for a pattern in 426mb text file. But fortunately I scored 30.
@admin…in both div 1 and div 2, only those problems have less submissions whose solutions were not put on youtube. Please have a strong plagiarism check this time.
