Hello Codeforces

Nowadays I am preparing for ACM-ICPC regional finals, I became master 2 months ago, but I think its by luck, because I have solved a lot of problems(almost 2500) and I know typical problems, therefore I solve them very fast(speedforces), because I have experience with them.

What I want to know how to go further, I think its hardest level to become red coder from master, what strategy should I use, I have seen a lot of people who stuck at orange for many years and some people who are becoming red coder from orange in 6 months.

I have set up my target as becoming International Master till Regional Finals(April 2021) and I believe in the last 2 years of my study I will go to ICPC Finals

Thank you, GL & HF

Just memorize a bunch of stuff enough to solve harder problems :p (feat. Um_nik)

[Edit:] Oh man! Jokes apart, your graph is insanely beautiful (to me, at least). All the best for whatever it is you aspire to do!

    You didn't understand the phrase you quoted.

      Hmm maybe. I haven't yet memorized a bunch of stuff to understand phrases I quote. I'll work on it.

      Not for Um_nik

      To be honest I think almost all greens who read that didn't understand.

        To be fair, you need to have a very high IQ to understand Um_nik's posts. The content is extremely subtle, and without a solid graps of theoretical CS most of the points will go over a typical reader's head.

    I have solved ~80 R2300 and ~80 R2400+ problems by myself without editorials. 'solve old problems and find similarity' isn't working that well for me at R2400+ problems till now, It worked fairly well till R2300 problems.

      Bit unrelated, but I wanted to say your submission log is incredibly clean. Just a sea of Accepted.

        Because I usually solve problems in private mashup contests, but as those solutions are private, hard to find later and they aren't showed in codeforces visualizer, I transfer them to problemset. In reality, I am very error prone and almost always need more than one submission in hard problems.

          i think you are strong enough to reach IM. can i ask why don't you participate in every single contest?

            Thanks for your kind words, I hope I can reach IM in 6-12 months, but I think I am still not good enough to reach IM as I am too slow, I usually need 60+ minutes to solve each problem with 2300+ difficulty.

            I don't usually participate in contests, as I enjoy solving harder problems without clock ticking (/ in long contests) more. It was also a kind of strategic decision to focus all my time on hard problems only, as it's hard for me to extract time to practise due to various other activities.

It appears that you did not solve many problems with problem rating 2100 and above.

I think you should now focus on solving more difficult problems.

I think you need to solve problems of _ at least_ 2700-2800 difficulty.(At least it is for me)
