A huge thanks to the people who contributed to this contest:

Thanks to Ayush (IIT Madras) and Aditya (IIT Delhi) for organizing and managing the entire camp alongside me and bringing it to where it is today. It would have not been what it is today without them.

Last but not the least, thanks to MikeMirzayanov for giving fellow programmers like us this platform (Codeforces) to improve our problem solving skills.

I got a mail from Codeforces regarding that my solution matches with some other solutions for round 1786 A2. After checking those solutions I was shocked that they were exactly my solution. I think that most probably someone who solved A2, locked their solution then opened mine and shared it on some shady group. Being expert for around 6 months now, it would be messed up if I start plagiarising during contest and that too A2 ?! I am attaching my solution and the others, please look into it; I dont want the contest to be unrated for me and more importantly I dont want innocent people like me to suffer due to some -200 IQ moves by someone.

My Submission

Plag Solution 1

Plag Solution 2

Plag Solution 3

Plag Solution 4

Thank you for taking out the time to read this, I hope the truth prevails in the end.
