Is listening to Twice boosting cp skills?
By stefdasca, history, 19 months ago, In English,

Ever since tzuyu_chou started advertising Twice at round #497, an increasing number of people have got to hear about this band, and it seems that for most of them, it was a great deal in their competing skills.

Even though at first I was reluctant about how can a K-pop band, especially Twice can improve people's CP skils, but after seeing that many guys with K-pop related accounts performing great made me start listening to Twice too and soon after this, I managed to get Master for the first time ever, after struggling in purple for a long time.

The examples can continue, so is listening to Twice really boosting cp skills?

I'd like to hear other successful stories too, so that i can be sure that my skill gain is not just a result of hard work.

I watched one of their youtube videos few minutes before the skyglow contest and I ended up winning the round! not sure if there is correlation though (maybe it just relax you a bit and therefore improves your performance)

Yes, it seems to be true :)

Ever since I started listening to Twice around September, I finally made 2600+.

I agree with what you wrote. I used to listen to Twice and reached mid CM from Expert. But when I stopped listening to Twice, I dropped to Expert again. Now I am listening to Twice again, let's see if I reach CM again.

    That's sad to hear, but at least you seem to get some of your losses back, now that you are listening to Twice again

        if you listen to twice enough, yes

        But listening to twice doesn't substitute hard work, it only stimulates performances

OK, we all have finally found out that listening to Twice really boosts cp skils, but what about another bands like BTS or Blackpink for example?

    According to my current experiences,

    BTS seems not to be a good option, but sample size is not big enough GustavK menna123

    Blackpink fans seem to benefit from it(I also listen to Blackpink), and i also know this guy too, who seems to perform good I_love_Rose

      I started listening to BTS and reached CM, but I've only done one contest since I started so the sample size might not be- so this proves that listening to Kpop in general improves programming skills

Is tourist competing boosting CP skills? Ever since he started competing, my CP skills have rapidly increased.

Yes, but only very slightly.

I have heard from sqrtdecompton that listening to Havanna boosts way more (so much he got a gold medal in recent IOI), and have confirmed it with rigorous testing and mathematical proof.

Of course, proof is left exercise to the reader.

I can only confirm that listening to Tunak Tunak does not boost competitive programming skill.

Thank you. It worked. I listened to twice before yesterday's contest. And the result is in front of you. I am guessing you listened to it too, considering your performance in the contest.

I started listening to anime openings 24/7 and after a week I finally reached master. Think Twice has a similar effect

I do not listen to Twice, but because so many people have started doing it, my rating has started going down. Please, codeforces, ban this performance-enhancing cheat from being allowed in competition. It is not fair for people like me

Listening to music in general probably helps, but we need to eliminate survivorship bias and confirmation bias in order to know for sure.
