during a contest, do difficult questions have higher score ?
If I solve the first 2 questions in a contest and also solve the 4th question, do I get a better ranking than the person who solved the first three questions ?

Nope. Every problem has a score of 100.
Guys, don’t you think that’s a bit unfair…
No. Those are the rules.
Hello,
According to my understanding, In most programming contests, the difficulty of questions doesn’t affect the score.
It’s the number of problems solved that matters. If you solve 2 questions and another contestant solves 3, they might have a higher rank.
However, if you solve 2 and they solve 3 but you also solve an extra one (4 in total), you’d likely have a better ranking. Check the specific contest rules for details.
