Bro…in one line …If u don’t like CC then leave go somewhere else …every platform have different flavour , questions, difficulties , UI and many other things… if u don’t like simply do not give contest right ?
Try topcoder , atcoder , SPOJ , hackerearth , codinggame, hackerrank , codeforces or any other…but plz don’t say CC is not a good platform…many people like CC and if we r not able to solve problems then i think its our fault isn’t it?

It’s better than March challenge though

thecodearrow · May 4, 2020, 8:52pm

I’m yet to solve the 3rd problem as well… but see, it’s still better than the previous Long Challenge where it was very easy for everyone to score 570+ including the Challenge problem.
That and 2 failed short contests have gotten me to 2 stars now lol.

The way I see it, most have given up. So, even if you gather the courage and even solve partially, you can still manage to get a decent rank. Just being optimistic I guess. xP

But, nothing really matters unless you learn stuff. I guess the ratings aren’t the only measures to your growth.

I really liked this challenge as the problems are tricky and challenging, sometimes frustrating too. Because that’s the case where your learning curve rise.

avi_9314 · May 4, 2020, 10:39pm

If you are doing for rating
Hell NO!!
If you are doing for learning
HELL YES!!

You know what i think behind the unbalanced contests … if the contests were too easy then high level coders will stop giving contests and if the contests were too difficult (like this may challeneg) then low level coders will stop giving contests…hence every month their is a variance in difficulty of long challenges so that everybody gives the contest to check whether this time contest is easy or difficult…if they were of same level every month then the coders that are not of that level (may be high or low) will stop giving contests

It is same for me. I am not a good rating coder but still struggling through that as I have so much of time in lockdown. I spent a lot of time with these problems and still not getting to a solution. But it will not gonna make me feel bad, because a day will come when i am gonna solve them.
So, do’t be said it’s not about just solving the whole 8 question it’s about how new things you have learn during this long challenge.

shiva_yanala12 · May 6, 2020, 3:57am

not good.I’m not able to solve a single problem

hackxsaras · May 6, 2020, 4:08am

keep trying… don’t lose hope

meet2mky · May 6, 2020, 4:29am

What is that reason?

anon21307805 · May 6, 2020, 4:46am

Firstly, you cannot ask anything on problems that belong to on going contest. It is a rule.
Secondly, even if want some help your code link will be blocked to others users, which means they can’t access it.
Try something better.

csk111165 · May 6, 2020, 6:23am

I agree with you completly. I feel the same. Could you please suggest good SITES

that really will be better than codechef.Thanks
