This week, there’s a contest on Friday, so we’ll have our weekly topic stream on Thursday instead, at the same time (12 - 14 GMT). It’s starting to get more interesting, and we’ll gradually move on to more advanced topics!

I especially encourage you to watch Graph #1 to ensure you’re on board and ready for Graph #2.

Um_Nik discusses why tourist is no longer at the top 10 of Codeforces.

Four months later, tourist is back on top with over a 200-point rating gap! Lol

Topics discussed in today’s livestream:

- Bipartite Graphs
- Calculating Distances in a Graph
- Solving 4 Problems from Codeforces

I made two videos for people who are newbies right now. I said everything I tell my students to grow and get out of newbie. These are the things that I did myself as well, and around 4 months after being a newbie, I got rank 4 in a div 2 contest. This is the first video on this topic. I highly encourage you to do these things if you are a Newbie right now!

Things you must not do if you are a Newbie:

If you like these kinds of videos, let me know what helps you the most, and I’ll try to make more videos on those topics next.

Tomorrow, we’re going to solve some super cool problems from graph algorithms. I’ve chosen some of the best problems, ranging in difficulty, and some are really challenging and beautiful. However, you don’t need any prior knowledge to solve them besides what we discussed in the previous two topic streams on graphs, so anyone at any level can follow along.

Don’t miss this topic stream! I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

I highly encourage you to watch the previous two topic streams on graphs at 2x speed to ensure you’re comfortable with all the topics!

Let me know your thoughts!

This stream has to be moved to Saturday. Sorry about that.

Since you mentioned Atcoder beginner round, I will stream the solution discussion of ABC round 370 tomorrow and do the topic stream on Graph problem-solving the day after that. (Sunday)

We’re having our “Graph Algorithms Problem Solving” session tomorrow! (Sunday 14 - 16 GMT) As the title suggests, it’s going to be from starter to expert! I’ve picked the best problems that require no prior knowledge—it’s all about the ideas. I’m excited because I’m sure you’ll learn a lot about the art of problem-solving in this stream!
