You don't even realize how many times I felt that way. But then you stand up, shake the dust, and keep going. I'm occasionally participating competitive programming events for 15 years, unfortunately without any particular success. The only thing I know is that it made me a better programmer, no matter where exactly in the final standings I was and how slow/dumb I was not seeing obvious things during the contest rush.
P.S. After all, if it really was "so simple" no one would called it a "problem", eh? ;) 2014-04-26 23:26 GMT+04:00 Stanislav Zholnin <[email protected]>: > Guys, > > I am feeling so so stupid about not being able to solve problem A for > hours, which was so simple - as if I don't want to compete anymore. > Especially after solving Problem C and not being able to solve A :(( > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google Code Jam" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/google-code/477820c5-71d5-4da7-88bf-5c5bc58f24d7%40googlegroups.com > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
