How do you define luck?
By foundnt_Alice, 6 months ago, In English

Hi!

Recently I tried to solve a problem with 1.5s time limit. After several tries, I finally got AC within 1496ms.

My mortal enemy, NeverCompromise managed to achieve this with the blessings of lord Sparky_Master_WCH1226 (negative contribution be upon him).

    Btw, how do u come up with that "a cf comment a day, keep the ladies away" theory? If it is proven to be correct, I'll never comment on CF again.

Look at the solvers of problem C of last EDU round. Some of them uses 1996ms and passes the problem within the time limit 2000ms!

In Codeforces Round 917 (Div. 2), I solved A, B and E. Problem E was incredibly easy to me, but its score was very high ($$$2500$$$ points), so I suddenly gained +260 to 1594, from Pupil to Specialist, nearly Expert.

I’d say my luckiest time was this.

I passed problem D on 119:58, 7th try, which was the last AC during the contest :)
