Actually if the bet becomes that serious, some pro in div1 is going to create an alt just to solve the last problem of div2

That is what we were counting on!

vijju123 · March 7, 2020, 4:08pm

Ouch, plan busted!

Admin is cool and fun.

The YT link in your profile is invalid. Can you please update that?
(or maybe invalid in my country. What can I do then?)

What is it?

Yeah first three problem are not very hard
But rest of problem can make someone cry😭
I have participated in around 7 long challenge but never saw so less accuracy rate from 4th to 8th question.

Thanks.

You are judging the movie just by watching the trailer

I bet less than 500 people will solve Q4 of Div2 Long Challenge

l_returns · March 8, 2020, 4:50am

Solve next few problems and then come to a conclusion. XD
This long is a bit difficult for div2 imo. Not so difficult if you try though.
And this long will have more learning value for participants.

hari_2666 · March 8, 2020, 6:24am

same thing used to happen in cookoffs
first few are meaninglessly easy
and the rest are unsolvably tough

but i hope this scenario changes as there are 10 days

hari_2666 · March 8, 2020, 6:29am

it has 16 after 2 days…
the number of submissions will greatly increase in last 2 days
so surely it will cross 100

l_returns · March 8, 2020, 6:41am

The mentality of people is hindering here.
Questions are doable if they try.

hari_2666 · March 8, 2020, 6:43am

considering that there were 175 cheaters (only that are caught) in last long div1…
at least half of them would create alts and participate in div 2
so they will contribute to atleast 50 submissions

hari_2666 · March 8, 2020, 6:47am

yes sir…
but if a problem has only 100 submissions it will be not so useful i guess

some are new participants (india or foreign) that deserve div 1
some are the ones that are dropped from div1 to div2
some of them will be alts of div1

so it will be not so useful for normal div2 participants i guess

everule1 · March 8, 2020, 6:50am

I think the problem is all the questions are heavy, so it’s a bit hard to debug the codes.

alei · March 8, 2020, 1:40pm

I bet editorials will be ready at most one day after the contest.

pritishn · March 8, 2020, 2:04pm

I wonder what would be the difficulty level of DIv1 questions according to Codeforces difficulty scale.
I don’t think any of them should be below 2200.
