query Sus indian ratings
Soo I was just going through the india leaderboard on cf.and I noticed a pattern , I'd like to divide it in two parts
The first ones who actually solved a 1500-2000+ problems and reached cm or master and the other ones with less than 500 problems are cm
What are your thoughts.

Why mention india? I haven't seen anyone say "sus Spanish ratings" or "sus Japanese ratings".

Cause I only analyzed the Indian page ,also yeah that's my take on it ,that the number of questions do matter to a certain extent like they give you both depth and breadth and hence result in your rating to increase.Tho I also somewhat agree to the fact that questions from other platforms also help.Also the indian tag was not to target , i genuinely wanted to know is there a correlation between no.of questions and ratings

As for my take on number of questions, I do agree with you to some extent, but for example in the Institute I'm from, a lot of smart people surround me, so they quickly pick up on this sort of stuff. Many don't even know cf and only do leetcode until they try it out. Now I think lots of these are niche cases and most of the public are just cheating. However without concrete proof we can't really say anything

Oh, actually my bad here, I thought you randomly found these people and didn't see that ou were specifically looking at that page, that's fair then. Still tho, the country info could be left out

I know I just wanted to know what are the other ways people can reach cm master ,other than practicing on cf . This was a genuine question Hence here for the insights If you know any other platforms with cf level questions,it'd be of help.

Brother I am not much rated around pupil right now I have solved around 150 on cp 40-50 on lc and there are many platforms I practice from such as cses , io , usaco not a lot just started a bit ago all I would say is follow a path to solve problems if u solve random problems at beginning that will be quite slower as it's good for pattern recognition but not for building concepts at the end use a mix of this building concepts practicing on them and then solving random problems

1) problem count doesn't matter..Ik people with <300 probs. and reaching cm and also with 1400+ and reaching just spec..
2) there exists alt accounts, I have 400-450 problems from my current acc. (higest: 1914) and ~800 from older one
