Check out stats of ITBS Busan, he/she/they did almost 1k problems in the last month.

Man, I wish I can have such a good inspiration :)

Well, you can use a test account to test your code until you get AC. Then you can release it in another account in no time. Always a good surprise I guess.

Their register date is in 2005 ?

Anyways in 19 hours my account will be one month old, I currently have 43 solved problems, I could easily solve 7 tomorrow. So if one person could get 50 problems in one month , then it is easy for a group of 20 to get 1000 solved in a month as well, their username seems to be of a team and probably a big group. If I was really good I could have done a lot better also like 150 problems easily I estimate, 5 problems a day is not impossible for a person if he is good and quick enough.

That is, each person solves a set of 50 different problems from the rest of the group, which is a lot harder than solving problems that another member has already solved.

5 problems a day?!!! Seems almost impossible!!!
:(

I have fought with some dozen of problems almost half a year! And anyway - only half of them got accepted (the only satisfaction is that in all cases all of my solutions have agreement with test data, as they are usually provided in problem text).
:cry: :cry:

Sometimes it is really sad that after hours of work - only WA. And the most unfortunate thing is - that no idea - why. Where to search for the bug. Now I accepted this almost as rule - not to take these WA's so personally (and try to hope that anyway - I am not so bad...), but initally...
:cry:

Well - generally speaking - this is perfect school to learn algorithms (some of problems are based heavily on them and therefore it can take much more time to recognize algorithm and learn it, if unknown, than to translate it into code), but - for other problems - one can esily relay on constraints provided in problem definition and so - the solution can be made so specific that it can be cheap (fast and with small memory consumption) enough without involving any algorithm...

And how do you explain the low error rate of ITBS Busan?

It doesn't seem to me they have a low error rate, 2000+ submissions and 1000+ AC

Well, I'm not going to argue with you but, why wont ITBS Busan continue to solve all the problems? I mean, why suddenly stop?
