CP partner?
By Evang, history, 2 years ago, In English

I'm currently looking for a CP partner, who is willing to grind usaco.guide's platinum module with me. I've already been grinding the platinum module for a while now, and I'm serious about it. My plan is to finish the module by May 1st.

Anyone up for it? DM me if so.

Note, you should be in USACO platinum and around at least expert on CF.

I just want to say one thing. Don't think about downvotes. In CF people will downvote you unless you post a tutorial.

Just curious, when did you promote to plat? I know some CMs and even masters who struggled with the recent gold contest. It seems like usaco is getting a lot more challenging recently!

    I promoted to plat in the usaco 2022 jan contest. I solved only the first two problems (and got nothing on the third), and was disappointed/frustrated that I didn't solve the third problem. Afterwards, I surprisingly got promoted to plat.

    Just because I promoted in that gold contest doesn't mean that I'm worthy of plat though. It was a bit of luck that I promoted.

      Yeah i thought january was quite fair, and a generous cutoff too. The february one was brutal for me though.

Personally, unless you have already finished all the gold/silver problems on the USACO guide, I would do the hard/very hard/insane difficulty problems in silver/gold module and then move on to platinum module.
