Unfortunately, I messed up the last problem and only got 146th. Even if I knew to use logarithms I would probably only be like top 30 :/ I wish I was better at math.
I'm also limited on time, so I decided to not make explanations (unless people really want them). Google has made an analysis for each of the problems.
I would appreciate it if you liked this video and subscribed!

this guy solves more in 5 seconds than i do in 5 hours

[@Mrlolba]

And more than I could do in 5 lifetimes.

Lmao you’ll get there my friend! 😂

[@rajputjay9856]

When he attempted this questions for the first time he might also have taken some amount of time to solve ... Consistency is the key bro ! 👍

Same as me too, but with a lots of GitHub tabs on the browser

Do not feel pressured by the views/prior performance. I want you to know that you should just stick to relaxing and showing your stuff in a calm, careful and methodical way.

First problem solved in exactly 50 seconds. I'm totally done with this dude.

Weird Champer it’s this. he’s not really live coding, as in he’s writing code but he understands how to solve the problems beforehand

GeizigAdam you’re stupid lmfao. no shit he’s better than me. a nascar out crewman can change a tire in 4 seconds, but that’s because he’s practiced. i’m not saying i could, but he’s not solving it live

I love watching his fingers breaking the speed of light while typing :,)

Please make a video explaining why you use vim and your configuration for vim and other such things useful for competitive programming

Wtf, the video shutter speed can't even keep up with this typing speed. What keyboard are you using BTW?

[@ApoorvaRajBhadani]

Even i wanna know the keyboard

[@elandor3084]

i think random membrane keyboard

[@halfblood_slayer5989]

This is an above average speed. People who work with computers usually have near to this speed. If you don't, you are not taking your job seriously XD

[@halfblood_slayer5989]

It's pure practice. I suggest typeracer.com anybody can reach 100wpm within a year

[@tsudabyo]

Shreehari A definitely not “just above average”, I type 110-120 avg. and this guy seems to be miles ahead of me

[@sohammukherjee8079]

I don't know if it makes sense to ask you this way, but I'd really wanna know why you incremented ptr (++ptr) twice in the last else block of the third question. I know it's crazy that I'm asking so late , so apologies for that.

Dude what up for the Second Question i did it this way was quiet easy this way lst=lst[::-1] #reverse list for i in lst: if d%i!=0: d-=(d%i) print(d) PS-- I know he is way better in CP . Just my solution!!

Yes there are two formulas to solve it and this reversing one is easy
