This is the first time I write blog. Here's my story...

While I was looking at rating changes in Round 305 div 1 http://codeforces.com/contest/547/ratings , I've noticed contestant sheisactually14 who gained +209 but took place 631. I looked carefully in his profile and found something strange.

His contests tab :

http://codeforces.com/contests/with/sheisactually14

If you click to the number 177, his place, you will see :

http://codeforces.com/contest/547/standings/participant/4756047#p4756047

He gained +209, became Master but solved no problems and had no hacks. Can someone, I wish MikeMirzayanov, explain for me about this magic ? Or is there a bug in rating system ? Oh hell... What a myth actually !
