Hello! I'm just getting started with USACO and was wondering if anybody has any tips or resources they'd recommend to getting into it? I have a pretty strong competition math background and heard that's a good starting point. I also heard from some friends that USACO guide is not a good resource to use starting out. I also read about the "editorial spam" method from an earlier reddit post. Is that a common/effective method people use?

Also, I was wondering if anyone here is from the Delaware Valley Area and is interested in Computational Biology (specifically developing algorithms/models)? If so, pm me...
