Hello Coders and Forcers!

A few days ago my friend Farsh_LE made a Blog asking for advice for reaching CM. It gained some attention and in the comments, a challenge was created by coderdhanraj:

Naturally, as someone who just became an expert and still has 200 points to go, I accepted the challenge. And so did 17 others. I am making this blog for 2 reasons:

  1. To let more people in on the challenge

  2. To set some sort of punishment for failing (something like what Farsh_LE mentioned in his blog) or reward for succeeding (although reaching CM is a reward in of itself :p).

If you have any ideas, or if you would like to join the challenge, please leave a comment below :)

I recently started the Segment tree course on the EDU, I found it very helpful. However, I noticed a small issue: The theory section gives away the solution too quickly. As given by this example:

Solution for step 3 B

The full solution was described immediately, leaving the reader little room to think about it for themself. I think this would be a better way to do it:

Hint 1
Hint 2
Full Solution

If you have any thoughts about this please put them in the comments :)
