In any case, if you thought about a problem a lot during a contest but didn't end up solving it, then I don't see any reason not to read the editorial when it comes out (vs. continuing to think about it on your own). Also, you should always implement the solution afterwards!
+You can also check my [Github](https://github.com/bqi343/USACO/blob/master/Resources/Solving%20Problems.md) and my [IOI interview](https://ioinformatics.org/interview/interview-benjamin-qi/27?event=july-2020).

## Nathan Chen
Read the editorial when you feel like you've stopped making progress; that could be from 1 to 5 hours. However, the most important part about reading the editorial is that you understand the topic and try to think about what similar problems look like. Being generally curious is a good way to practice algorithmic thinking.
