seems like I have been able to create a tester army consisting of every color from gray to purple , seeking attention of future authors to co-operate with us haha , also thanks to wuhudsm for his huge effort , without him theForces rounds would not have been possible + he is literally building a very good culture of problem-setting through which many brilliant problem-setters will emerge in future hopefully
As a tester, I can confirm that the problems are very interesting and very enjoyable to solve. All the best to everyone!
I don't know why but every tester says the same thing. I never found any problem interesting rather they are boring and frustrating.
Probably selection bias. A lot of testers just don't comment under the round announcement if they don't find the problems interesting (unless they only care about contribution), so comments that talk about the round will tend to be positive. And testers also know/have worked with the authors on the round, so it seems rude to call them out for bad problems when they could have given feedback in testing.
I think you got your answer! btw it was my first time as a tester and problems are not bad i suggest you to give a try....participating contest take as fun activity and enjoy it. Best of luck!
problems were interesting thank you
