      ​@@hahalol8354 IOI Gold doesn't make you one of the best in the world. ICPC would. IOI would definitely put you in the top tier, especially for younger people though. He likely is, but there are some crazy good competitive programmers out there.

    At 10:00, the loop condition "~j" is equivalent to "-j-1" (because an integer's negation is equal to its two's complement, i.e. -x = ~x+1), which means "-j-1!=0", which means "j!=-1", which means j is 0 for the last iteration.

    Pattern recognition and habbit, nothing supernatural. When you do 1000 problems of a similar nature, you dont even read the problem text anymore, just for the pointers, what variable connects to where and your eyes catch the words defining the relation in a blink of an eye.
