First Comment.
As a blue tester, my color changed two times while testing the round :)
Can't wait for it!!
HOW DID I MISS THE MOST ORZ vikram108 in the testers!!!!!
As a tester, wuhudsm orz
As a tester ,I believe you should definitely give this contest. All the best!!
thank you for letting know CHATGPT solved 0 problem!
As a tester, I will be missing the chance to give this contest :(
Btw, this is my first round as a tester. Hope everyone enjoy the problem set.
will be gr8 if can solve 3 to 4 problems this time, will try to get under 3k rank
In the last contest, I lost 160, and I hope to recover it.
As a tester, I almost accidentally registered for this round. Hope you have fun :)
CHATGPT for solving 0 problems : )Lol, it would be nice if every contest is also tested on GPT to reduce the chances of cheaters using such tools
Using chatgpt is not cheating
Yeah that's true for debugging and stuff, but sometimes, rarely, the whole question gets solved by GPT, I've seen people in my college just copy paste the question and get an answer, still it's more common on LeetCode.
its still not cheating (on cf atleast), just bad problem setting
True, makes sense
I'm tired of wishing too much
As a tester, I failed to solve any problems.
As a tester, I found that GCD(score distribution)=250k for k>=1.
As a tester, I disappeared from the scoreboard :(
excited
i would happy if codeforces avoid the contests on saturdays which actually clash with lc biweekly contest
the question becomes: does it matter if you are happy?
im really hoping for 1434 rating this time...
As a tester, I te
