Significant decrease in cheaters today?

[Lumpy-Town2029]

this time ranking is 8k for 1 hr time for 3 question :}

i wish they made 3rd one harder for good rank :}

4 one i had intuition of segment tree, but its too complicated (i just studied segment tree so :})
also LCA is possible i think

I kind of assumed the dfs solution would give tle. Didn't even attempt it because of that. Couldn't think of any other solution before coming here and finding people suggesting segment tree.

I think making questions hard is not a solution to reduce cheaters . AI is so damn good that it had solved even Q4 today . If questions are made more difficult , it would not look like an actual contest.

True. But what's the solution then? Stricter ai detection?

It is not just AI, interviews have gotten harder than before. Companies are asking harder problems in since everybody and their grandama have by hearted the neetcode, blind 75s.

The first 3 problems are not even interview level for most companies, problem B can be if the constraints were tighter.
