That's a very good question. I have no clue why that's the case. Not sure why you got so many downvotes either.

For those who didn't understand what Tparsa meant, mamadak is ranked 1990 in Bayan Warm Up. However his profile says rank 255 and his rating increased significantly. So if someone can explain this confusion, that would be great.

I personally have no idea what could cause that.

P.S.

Well, I did some research while writing this comment and I found this blog which describes him cheating (not the first time I've seen accusations of him being a cheater). So my best guess is that his solution was skipped due to cheating, and therefore his ranking changed. However rating changes were already done and to recalculate them you'd have to recalculate everybody's rating, so his rating stayed high.

P.S.S.

I tried to make the links relative so you don't get logged out and transferred between codeforces.ru and codeforces.com :)
