As you know, Codeforces recently added the ability to scroll through the user's rating history. I decided to take this opportunity to find out how long this wonderful service plans to exist.
To do this, I went to my page, looked at my rating
Next, I began to zoom out as much as possible. At one point, I got something that looked like the flag of Indonesia.
After zooming out a bit more and scrolling a bit to the right, I found that at some point new divisions stop being added. To be more precise, this is about the 251st millennium:
It seems that we are close to a solution! It remains only to zoom in to see a more accurate value.
So, 275760 is, apparently, the last year of Codeforces' existence! Let's zoom in even more to get the accuracy up to a month...
Let's continue to improve the accuracy...
Bingo! Codeforces will cease to exist on September 13, 275760. I don't think you should worry at the moment. The date will not come quite soon, because no exiting time calculator accepted such a year.
Please write in the comments what code you would like to save in case of Codeforces closure!
