Codeforces conducted a contest on the day before christmas. With only one contest remaining for me to become Candidate Master before 2015 starts i decided to give my best in the contest. One beauty of this contest is that my little brother also participated along with me. The first problem was a pretty simple implementation problem. And the second one was about simple application of MAP data structure. And when i looked at the third problem i got frustrated because it was a problem based on geometry and i am very weak with those problems. But somehow i made up my mind to give a try. I somehow found the logic so quick and coded it. But during my first attempt i declared the variables as int instead of long long. So i got wrong answer initially. Luckily i found out this bug very soon and submitted it again. This time i got the preliminary tests passed and only around 50 people managed to solved the fourth one. After the contest ended i was pretty confident that if my Third problem passes the final test cases i could become CANDIDATE MASTER. I was eagerly waiting for the results and the results were out by 1:00AM. And when i went to my profile i felt like shouting aloud as i have become CANDIDATE MASTER for the first time ever. I was soooo happppy and couldn't sleep that night.
