If this guy took 35 mins for completing this contest, I guess I will need a year.

[@dotaking82]

And eventually you will give up!

[@MindIsLikeFullMoonInFall]

He actually only used 25 mins AND winning the contest =D

[@MrOsefosef]

jesus these comments are cringe

[@MrOsefosef]

what about you try to get to his level instead of satirely mocking him?

[@MrOsefosef]

​@Dawit_K Most the comments alienate him like he's not a human person, add to this the excessive boring sarcasm and you end up with a group of people pointing fingers at a very talented person.

[@JohnCena963852]

You submitted it while I was still trying to read the question. How cruel.

[@proudnepali9297]

Let's learn together

[@user-id1rf9zb4x]

Shit..He is reading fast..Did he even spend anytime thinking? It seems like he just know the solution right after reading the question

[@pavanxb]

Lmao, same

[@josephmyers2133]

When I saw him coding, I was trying to figure out how to play the video at normal speed

[@verdipratama]

😏👍

[@omkararora8739]

Exactly man

[@sankhadiprang7179]

Aside from being able to code like that...I think i'll need the same time in which he is solving each problem to think the name of a single varible

[@Warner1138]

I thought they nerfed you in the last update

[@ITSH4WK]

😂😂😂

[@justdrewit911]

Give him another year and hes going to be a robot.

[@edafade]

I don't know jack about coding, but I still watch these. Very interesting!

[@atharvajadhav8598]

ik i was f**ked up when i saw special forces take 35 mins to solve everything 😢😂

[@WilliamYFeng]

Congratulations! This one was harder than usual. I used segment tree on problem 3 (way overkill) :P

[@shameekagarwal4872]

can u pls share ur approach using seg tree?

[@WilliamYFeng]

@@shameekagarwal4872 ​Yeah, I'll be making a video about the contest this week.

[@zachgillette4272]

What is your trick for reading the problem so fast? U hardly looked at the first problem before writing your solution so what are you looking for in the problem? Love ur videos btw

[@devdaily2129]

Dang, you be thinking fast af boi! Congrats

[@nursultannazarov8379]

thanks

[@Starstrike21]

grats on the win!

[@minakshikudalkar557]

[@dantefalls2156]

"Okay so, let's start with the answer..." Nice

[@ezizhummedov3607]

I have a question William. Do you use the shift key while you're typing? Would you please make a detailed video about fast typing. PLEASE!!!

[@Paralativ]

Yeah, not specially the fast typing, but the fast use of all bracket-versions and more... It would be a total pleasure if he would show us his skill-work :)

[@manncodes]

Is that violin playing in the background?

[@MindIsLikeFullMoonInFall]

Doing leetcode contest WHILE playing violin?!

[@LaurenceMoroney]

Cello I think

[@miteshkumar3183]

Woah congrats! Number 3 was really messy for me.

[@Ick37]

[@codewithkolhar3131]

He types faster than he thinks.

[@luvu7158]

MAN MAN MAN, what's font are u use in gvim?

[@abhishekchaudhary2189]

I got stuck at Question 3 and didn't bother to solve 4. 4 seemed pretty easy rather than 3! I thought i was the only one 😂

[@nursultannazarov8379]

you are only one

[@brianchen4331]

When it says 53 seconds ago... lol

[@tylerxiao2656]

How much time should you spend on a problem if you can't solve it within the first 20 or 30 minutes as a begginer?

[@dilshadnajimi6955]

Hi William I have question about vim editor how you can make this for c++ coding and please say to me.

[@devjeff3192]

Wins coding competition while somebody plays the Bagpipes in the background. Meanwhile, I forget what I was doing when my cat meows.

[@Analogue-India]

I am curious, do you do any projects (web, app, ml) along with competitive coding ??

[@MrOsefosef]

websites and apps definetely won't make you better at coding, so I doubt he makes any.

[@aarondawson655]

@@MrOsefosef personally I've learned nearly everything I know about coding from building apps, websites, and other projects but to each their own I guess.

[@YeetYeetYe]

@@MrOsefosef Depends how you define coding. Websites and apps will make you a much better engineer than competitive programming will, especially if you collaborate with other people while building those apps.

[@whitesalmon0925]

if it is not that I am somewhat familiar with leetcode, I would think you know the answer beforehand??? How the tell that you started code thru the solution when I was just about to finish reading the first sentence LOL??!! I feel so stupid :(

[@wirrexx]

Is there a website for people who are new to do problem solutions?

[@mmck174]

dude my respects...i would probaly take a life time, actually i woudnt even try

[@manikandanprabhakaran7516]

He took more time 🙄🙄.. I think this contest was tougher than usual

[@orio6708]
