Alei rounds are tougher than alex rounds

I hope this is not again that unbalanced long challenge, where people could hardly solve 4 problems

Balanced long challenge does not exist.
People would say either it is hard or easy.
when was the last time someone said long challenge is balanced.

I am not telling that. Just see June Long, so many people solved upto 7 problems and see May Long 4th question had just few hundred submission. Balanced here means, almost some are able to do atleast subtasks of the last few problems.

indeed i felt it too that last month’s long challenge was very easy… first 5 problems of were like free 500 points and challenge was the only tough thing. GUESSG was easy up till 75 points and CONTAIN was a basic convex hull problem.

But that was not the case with div1.

looks like i missed all the very easy ones yet then

True. There were no DSA problems. Every question was a puzzle and logic based except CONTAIN (In Division 2). And tbh convex hull is not a very tough algorithm. That was the first time I learnt the algorithm, and I was able to solve the question in one try.

Hoping to see some questions based on data structures and implementation this time!
