What is your best strategy for solving tough Marathon problems?
I procrastinate and code the basics (game logic I will definitely need) to delay thinking about the actual problem. I'm not saying that it's a good strategy
How do you plan to prepare for the Marathon Match Tournament 2025 Final?
Get enough sleep, update my IDE to make sure it won't try to update mid-contest
Which skill or area do you think was most critical for your success in this tournament?
Dedication to keep trying even when the problems looks complicated at first. Qualification wasn't that tense, anyone with enough time for 6 1-week contests could do it
If you had to describe your competitive style in one word, what would it be?
lazy
Which coder or competitor do you admire most, and why?
Psyho for being on top for so long and still being humble - but I could say the same thing about a lot of people
What’s your favorite hobby?
Cycling
What is your favourite programming language and why?
C#, good trade-off between performance and ease to write
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
I'm settled, I like it where I live
