Hey everyone, I hope you are doing good. I was thinking of starting a mashup contest series in which I will be creating a mashup contest every day at some time (which we all can choose) and that contest will have 4 questions (1 div2B (1500), 2 div2C's (1600) and 1 div2D(1700)) and 2 hours to attempt those. Right after the contest we can discuss the solutions and do that every single day (except when an official contest is there). I feel that this way we can get more practise and having a group who want to practise similar things will keep us motivated. Let me know what do you guys think about this.
PS: This is targeted for beginners (cyans who wanna be blue). Everyone is welcome for this tho.
Based on the response I will start creating contests from today onwards. Thanks
UPD: So looks like I am not allowed to create a mashup contest. I was able to create a mashup right before this announcement. Can someone tell me why this is happening? Hoping they dont take my right to create a blog post too. But anyway I will be posting vjudge links for those problems until mashups dont get fixed.
Thanks to abdstar for creating the contests on mashups on my behalf since I did not have access (or if it was taken)
DAY 0 : May 11 2020 Time for contest : 9.30 IST (duration : 2 hours) mashup link :Contest 1 (it has 3 C (1600) and 1 D (1700) of previous contests)
So the contest is over. I am sharing the problem numbers : (849C, 1288C, 1284C, 579D) https://codeforces.com/contest/849/problem/C and so on. You can search for the editorials by going to the problem link.
Will update on when I will make the next mashup. DAY 1 : May 13 2020 Time for contest : 9.30 IST (duration: 2 hours) mashup link :Contest 2 It has 3 problems sorted in order of difficulty.
DAY 2: May 18 2020 Time for contest : 9.30 IST (duration : 2 hours) mashup link : Contest 3 It has 3 problems sorted in order of difficulty.
Hello, I received suggestions from a few people to make a discord group since they wont be checking this blog that often so I have created a discord server where we can discuss a suitable time for mashup and discuss our solutions after the mashup. Join Here

can we this do for atcoder beginner problems 1 — C,2-D and 1-E ,i guess that will be more beneficial and educational as compared to codeforces because the question set there is better then codeforces one or we can do one day codeforces and the other day atcoder.
i really wanna focus on cf problems tbh, but yeah i can add 1/2 atcoder problems every other day.
i have seen people who solve atcoder C and D they usually solve C of codeforces in minutes and personally also i feel that atcoder is better if we want to speed up our solving of cf C
Not always true:(
Hey! I really like what you're trying to do here, and I would like to participate. My only question is: How will I receive updates for future contests, because I'd hate to miss one of them.
Edit: Typo.
I think you will have to check this post everyday, i guess. dont see any other option than this.
Create a telegram or discord or whatsapp group(or anything similar)!
