By MuohlaG, history, 14 months ago, In English

Hello, my friends.. I would like to take your opinion on my training method.. I set a specific time for the problem, and if that time ends, I see the solution.. I put 30 minutes, and if I don't find a solution, I see the solutions of the contestants.. Is this method effective.. or Not..!! I would like to hear how each one of you trains!! And thank you very much my friends !!

In my opinion, the best way to train is to give yourself time with a problem. Read a problem statement, think about it intensively for about half an hour and then do one of 2 things :

a) you want to still study — in that case go the the next problem and read its statement, try to work on it too. only once you slept on a problem go check other solutions b) take a break and go for a walk, do some housework or something. the solution often comes during such mundane tasks and it's much better if you come up with it rather than seeing the other solutions

Also, reading editorials is better than seeing other's solutions (just google "round X editorial" and it should pop up as top result usually, the solutions there also include explanations why things work)
