Notes

• Some of my submissions have little blogs and notes; if you have any questions, DM me!
• What is the motivation behind the solution?
• It is with words as with sunbeams - the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.

Tips

• Self-deception: drowning yourself in false entitlement.
• Comparison is the thief of joy.
• Calculate total operations, sometime's numbers can look decieving large.
• Don't get attached to any approach, throw all the paint on to the canvas.
• Read carefully! Constraints especially. The context of the problem may also provide greater intuition.
• Always consider subtasks. You will get multiple problems in one—that's a good deal!
