Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
This is true
I personally feel like ratings are too inflated here on CodeChef up to a certain point and that most people with the same stars differ in skill greatly. For example, I am 5* here on CodeChef (closer to 6* than 4*), yet I fluctuate between 1650 and 1800 on CodeForces. On the other hand @sharath1999 is also a 5* coder, but more of a 2000-2100 on CodeForces. See the difference in rating? There are many 6* people who are 2300 on CodeForces, but also 6* people who are 1700 (this is also without cheat…
I expected growth of at least 100 points in the last contest. Since my rating before the contest was a little high for the div - 2, there was not much growth in my rating points

I hope you reach 5* in your next contest, seeing your last couple of performances really shows you’re certainly worth it
