Hey guys, it’s a new month and its time to put the spotlight on a brand new programmer on CodeChef. Our programmer of the month is Gennady Korotkevich, who at a mere 15 years of age managed to come second in the July 2010 Challenge and win even the CodeChef Cook-Off! We’re very excited to see how well he performs in our upcoming contests. Lets find out what our programmer from has to say.
Name: Gennady Korotkevich
Age: 15
Institute: gymnasium 56, Gomel
Userid: gennady.korotkevich
How/When did you start programming?
It happened several years ago. My parents are programmers, and I was interested in what they were doing. Soon they suggested me to try myself at programming. I tried and liked it 🙂
What do you do when you’re not programming?
The main things are doing sports and sometimes reading. I like many kinds of sports, and the favourite ones are table tennis and soccer.
What do you like most about CodeChef?
I’m not so long with CodeChef, but I like solving very hard and challenging problems even for a long period of time.
How many hours a day do you program?
It depends on many things, but in average that’s 3-4 hours I guess.
What is the secret to being a good programmer?
I don’t think there’s any secret. In my opinion, if you want to be successful in doing something, you should like the thing you do 🙂
What are your plans for the future?
Graduating my gymnasium and entering the university 🙂 Though I’m still not sure which one to enter.

Poor performance at the IOI by Gennady. He got 1 less than the highest score on 2 questions!! What use are you if you can’t get the highest score on all questions, let alone perfect scores. This is your fifth attempt!
Hope you improve on day 2.

Again on day 2 also, there was a question on which you couldn’t score full.
Nevermind. Congrats for being the IOI champion for the second consecutive time!
You are now the leading IOI medallist.
