Hi Codeforces!

Every beginner here at least once wondered: "what to do to increase the rating?" The most common answer was to solve the archive. Immediately, the error of every newcomer surfaced: he chose the easiest tasks, solved them and did not develop at all. Or the opposite situation: He immediately took on complex tasks, did not understand anything and abandoned this business.

This is what this post was created for! What tasks do you think are the most interesting / common? What tasks should every beginner / specialist / expert solve at least once?

It is desirable that after these tasks it should be like this :D

Look, I don't have any good problems to recommend, but I recommend that someone should solve on a new topic he or she has learned recently and these problems should contain only the topic he or she had learned. Moreover, I see that solving alot of greedy and math problems increases the speed in which you solve the first one or two problems in a codeforces round.

Well, i think one of the best ways to improve is to give contests and upsolving its problems
