Another doe-eyed rebellious anime girl to add to the endless parade of generics that litter the media landscape. Ennui, huh? Well, isn't that just perfect.</p> - <p>Ennui had a seething hatred for modern society, because honestly, who doesn't? She despised the endless monotonicity, er, I meant monotony, of her life and the only emotion she could feel nowadays was boredom. Endless, dull, tedious boredom!</p> - <p>One day, Ennui had the brilliant idea of running away from home and going for a joyride on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Because, you know, nothing screams excitement quite like sitting in a cramped, musty train for days on end.</p> - <p>After breaking multiple countries' multiple laws, the first five seconds aboard the train were a flurry of excitement, but boredom returned as quickly as it had departed. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Ennui noticed a visibly troubled young man with an exceptionally bad haircut. Since she had nothing better to do, Ennui roasted his hairstyle, but the man took it as a compliment, and they struck up a slightly less boring conversation.</p> - <p>He introduced himself as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230526184241/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Qi">Ben Qi</a>, a three-time International Olympiad in Informatics winner, as if anyone cares. Yeah, I'm sure Ennui was just thrilled to have met such an exciting and charming individual.</p> - <p>But wait, it gets even better! Ennui nosily asked Ben Qi what was bothering him, because that's totally a question you ask a stranger you just met 30 seconds ago. Ben Qi just replied cryptically, "I have a secret. A deep, dark, beleaguering secret gnawing away at my soul. And I'll tell you what it is, if and only if, you become an IOI winner like me."</p> - <p>So, because Ennui was so utterly bored with life, she immersed herself into IOI training, living and breathing Dijkstra's algorithm, AVX2-accelerated segment trees, and the Knuth-Yao DP speedup. Robert Tarjan the algorithm man soon started haunting her dreams.</p> - <p>And then, surprise surprise, she actually won the IOI! Because, you know, that's totally realistic.</p> - <p>Long at last, the moment had come. Ben Qi smiled proudly and said, "Congrats Ennui! You're now an IOI winner! And now I must fulfill my side of the biconditional. I'm going to reveal to you my secret."</p> - <p>Ennui leaned forward eagerly, her heart pounding with anticipation. Finally! She had waited so long, sacrificed so much, suffered through so many Robert Tarjan nightmares! Finally!</p> - <p>Ben Qi took a deep breath and ponderously whispered in a hushed tone—Oh wait, I must interrupt! You see, dear reader, I cannot reveal to you what Ben Qi's secret is. Why, you ask? Well, simply put, unlike Ennui, you are not an IOI winner.</p> - <span></span> + <p>oh, great. another doe-eyed rebellious anime girl to add to the endless parade of generics that litter the media landscape. ennui, huh? well, isn't that just perfect.</p> + <p>ennui had a seething hatred for modern society, because honestly, who doesn't? she despised the endless monotonicity, er, i meant monotony, of her life and the only emotion she could feel nowadays was boredom. endless, dull, tedious boredom!</p> + <p>one day, ennui had the brilliant idea of running away from home and going for a joyride on the trans-siberian railway. because, you know, nothing screams excitement quite like sitting in a cramped, musty train for days on end.</p> + <p>after breaking multiple countries' multiple laws, the first five seconds aboard the train were a flurry of excitement, but boredom returned as quickly as it had departed. suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, ennui noticed a visibly troubled young man with an exceptionally bad haircut. since she had nothing better to do, ennui roasted his hairstyle, but the man took it as a compliment, and they struck up a slightly less boring conversation.</p> + <p>he introduced himself as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230526184241/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Qi">ben qi</a>, a three-time international olympiad in informatics winner, as if anyone cares. yeah, i'm sure ennui was just thrilled to have met such an exciting and charming individual.</p> + <p>but wait, it gets even better! ennui nosily asked ben qi what was bothering him, because that's totally a question you ask a stranger you just met 30 seconds ago. ben qi just replied cryptically, "i have a secret. a deep, dark, beleaguering secret gnawing away at my soul. and i'll tell you what it is, if and only if, you become an ioi winner like me."</p> + <p>so, because ennui was so utterly bored with life, she immersed herself into ioi training, living and breathing dijkstra's algorithm, avx2-accelerated segment trees, and the knuth-yao dp speedup. robert tarjan the algorithm man soon started haunting her dreams.</p> + <p>and then, surprise surprise, she actually won the ioi! because, you know, that's totally realistic.</p> + <p>long at last, the moment had come. ben qi smiled proudly and said, "congrats ennui! you're now an ioi winner! and now i must fulfill my side of the biconditional. i'm going to reveal to you my secret."</p> + <p>ennui leaned forward eagerly, her heart pounding with anticipation. finally! she had waited so long, sacrificed so much, suffered through so many robert tarjan nightmares! finally!</p> + <p>ben qi took a deep breath and ponderously whispered in a hushed tone—oh wait, i must interrupt! you see, dear reader, i cannot reveal to you what ben qi's secret is. why, you ask? well, simply put, unlike ennui, you are not an ioi winner.</p> + <span><a href="secret">the secret</a></span> </div> </body> </html> @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +did you even read the story??? |
