— I am glad that I managed to take second place. It was very difficult to jump higher because of the strong competitor in first place. The selection was held in the form of an online contest, and only 30 of its best participants were invited to the final. It was not difficult for me to pass thanks to my extensive experience in Olympiad programming.
To win a prize in the final, it is important to be able to quickly come up with ideas for solving problems, as well as quickly and competently implement them. In the final, five people solved six problems each, so the winners among them were determined by the penalty, that is, by the speed of the solution. There were several strong opponents, whom I often encounter in other contests, so the competition was serious.
