i am thinking for long but i couldnā€™t get !! why cc did this !
basically u have to solve the same 10 problem in div1+div2 combined
which we earlier used to solve in whole .
now 1-3* will have to solve 1-8 ques
and 4-7* will solve 3-10 questions
agar combined hi rehta aur 4-7* wale addition 2 easy question bana lete to problem kya thi

The thing is, the pro coders complained that first 3-4 questions were boring, to them, because they were too easy. They had to do it because of points anyhow. Then, rookies complained of last few problems being overly tough and wanted easier contest. Pro coders wanted just the opposite.

If we segregate into divisions,then- if need persists, we can give div1 harder problems not shared by div2 and vice versa. Also, problems can change in future, perhaps it can become 10 problems to div 2 and 10 to div1 with minimal/nil shared problems.

The number is experimental, and will change. Of course, more problems is merrier. Since its newly released, they need time for it to stabilize and adjust things accordingly.

Hey There! :slight_smile:

The basic motivation kept in mind was, if something like 2000 was kept cutoff for Div1, then the number of participants in it would be too low.

The system is newly brought, so most of the number can change depending on user satisfaction. Just that, they need time for things to settle in before they begin changing and modifying stuff. :slight_smile:

Since Codechef is primarily for improving Indian students, Many people would be motivated by the fact that they are in div1 here even if they couldnā€™t make it to div1 at any other site (Including me).

Judging from the number of submissions in div2, they seem to have end up making div2 easy for the div2 people.
