any suggestion @everule1 bhai , @galencolin @carre

not me. I’m not good at short competitions. My brain tends to slow down and I need time to relax and think while drink a beer. So there is nothing I can suggest about this except…do what you like. In my case, I like long competitions and especially the challenge problem in which I don’t need to “know” and remember the solution but to discover something new (at least new for me). The few times I tried codeforces I felt like a slow-paced old man in the middle of a highly trained sprinter race.
