This is with reference to 1811F - Это цветок?.

If you have tried this problem, how would you rate it's difficulty?

CLIST rates it ~2400. But I was able to solve it, so why is that?

Is this a flaw with the rating system? If I am able to solve it, then it definitely shouldn't be rated around 2400. Hope to gain a better understanding of the rating system.

No, there isn't a flaw in the rating system, it's solely based on the number of people who solved it and their rating, Div3 problems rating don't really match with those in Div2, or Div1. I find the problem pretty straight forward, so the hard part is probably the implementation or smth

Just because the pretest for this problem is bad, it has led to a large number of FST. So solving it during the contest is not the same difficulty as solving it after the contest. Even Jiangly wrote the wrong code during the contest.

In div3, this problem is rather hard to implement, especially during the contest(so not many people solved it.) The large number of fst-s also had a significant impact on the AC count during contest. So the rating might be higher than usual. IMO this problem is around div2D(in 5-problem contest) so it might be ~1900.
