Update contest rating for Biweekly and Weekly contests together.

Your prediction of contest rating is pretty close to the actual one though your site doesn't take into consideration when a user has participated in both the biweekly and weekly contests. It should be solved if you change the Previous rating in the weekly contest to the Expected new rating in the biweekly contest predicted by your site.
@susanth29 I'm not sure which rating Leetcode considers for the weekly contest when there is a biweekly contest. If leetcode uses the new rating after the biweekly contest, this is going to increase the accuracy.
Leetcode uses the new rating after the biweekly contest. After a biweekly and weekly contest, you can verify this if you see the rating change notification on leetcode. Suppose your rating before a biweekly contest is or and your rating after both contests is nr, then the notification will not be Your rating has been updated from 'or' to 'nr' rather it will be Your rating has been updated from 'mr' to 'nr' where mr is the rating you will get after the biweekly contest and before the weekly contest. In my case, it is 1827 -> biweekly contest 58 -> 1856 -> weekly contest 253 -> 1857 and you can see the notification here.
Thank you @susanth29 for sharing. This might take some time. I'll update the flow soon.
