yes cf ratings are good measure ,the perfect…actually its challenging and we need to do a lot of hard work to gain ratings …it’s the utopia for coding…
but i wish our Indians do well in codeforces also and our sites get better also

i dont have any experience brother…but that happened yesterday and in many cookoffs
if we accept that the cookoffs are unbalanced…then some changes could happen for good…

Perhaps don’t you think you would have had an higher one if it was over rating?(no offences I have 2 as well!) Dude work on yourself these things won’t end you anywhere. From 2 to 3 takes a lot of effort. It’s nothing to worry about on our side.

yes in an ideal world it takes lot of effort from 2* to 3* …
but here its not the case
thats the issue
i agree that this wont matter for me anyways
but i just wish that codechef can do far better than this
There’s not much gap between 2* and 3*.
people with average coding skills can get 3* easily because all you have to do is to do 1-2 questions every contest to get 3 stars.
Also if one 2* can do X question in 3 minutes, it does not imply that 3* or higher can do that in lesser or similar time.
Sometimes the idea or thoughtprocess is different for every individual.
Someone might find smaller approach to do a question while others don’t.
Also I couldn’t do yesterday’s questions because :- A ) I was working on something else as well and B) I am not that good in computation maths to simplify questions, or maybe I just didn’t gave it much thought process.
So chillax dude, being 2* 3* doesn’t even matter in the long run.

@hari_2666 Actually CodeChef was developed to help ACM ICPC aspirant. Generally it’s rating system and rank list style are same as ACM ICPC.
Teach me senpai.

Yes you are right, but you should understand that it only sometimes the case. Last lunchtime was well balanced with many people solving 3 questions from div1 while question 4 and 5 are expected to be hard. I understand your anger on typing contest but same do happens many times on codeforces as well that people are able to solve only A and B.

I think codechef has some personal issues with you as everyone’s rating is easily increasing without doing anything but still your rating is less XD
