you just have to look at the problem statement and the tests, they are made for fools, smart ppl will fail |
I don't know to be honest. They remind me of the Goodbye 2023 contest where one problem can be searched with OEIS and another you had to basically generate the answers beforehand. Some people who are good at regular problems are bad at fools problems and some who are bad at regular problems are great at fools problems. They honestly remind me of capture the flag challenges where basically nothing is off-limits. In capture the flag challenges you can google whatever you want and oftentimes the solution is some bizarre trick that you will never see again. Unlike capture the flag challenges, the fools problems are meant to be jokes but I think they might test a different skillset (possibly resourcefulness or creativity) than regular codeforces problems.
I could, of course, be overanalyzing the joke problems.
