Q.4 Balanced subarrays was so easy , however people easily solved Q.5 and Q.6 using gemini as they were formula based questions(maths) and gemini is good at that , this is so annoying like the entire div2 is so biased and hard to escape ,

It feels like it is harder to move from 4 start to 5 star than from 5 star to 6 star

also codechef does not ban people ,

There should be some strict rules against it , some codes i opened even had comments and still was not removed from the database

Can’t you avoid such formula based questions or maybe cross check with the paid version of gemini that was given to free in india

I was able to solve only 2 problems, remaining problems, either I was not able to undertand properly or not able to write efficient code.

Someone please suggest, how to improve?
