maomao90's blog

By maomao90, history, 22 months ago, In English

Slope trick is one of my favorite algorithms, so I have been considering writing a blog about it. However, there are already a lot of resources about slope trick, so I am not sure whether anyone would benefit from yet another slope trick blog.

If I were to write a slope trick blog, it would focus more on the intuition behind how I solve slope trick problems together with multiple difficult example problems (not 713C - Sonya and Problem Wihtout a Legend) where I show my step by step thought process. If you would like to see this slope trick blog, please upvote this blog. I will write a slope trick blog if this blog receives more than 100 upvotes. Thanks for all your support 👍

EDIT: Wow, already more than 100 upvotes in such a short time. See you in my upcoming slope trick blog 😉

EDIT 2: The long awaited slope trick blog is here! Hope that you will enjoy it :)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but 100 upvotes does not mean that 100 people liked your blog. Upvotes from expert account count as 3, master account count as 8, gm as 13(?).

i feel like very feel people know that and it is kind of malicious of CF to do that.

    He only asked for 100 upvotes and not 100 people upvoting this blog.

      True, but he was surprised by such a short time. I am pretty sure he was not aware of it. Plus many other people dont know it too.

        Wow I did not know that. Is it the same for comments too? Also how come when we upvote it looks like it only increases by 1

    I've checked, gm upvotes are weighted as 10, but usually take a few(8-12) hours to reach that weight.

      Sometimes GM downvote can directly reduce the contribution points too.
