So I got this notification that one of my solutions for 2032B was watching another guys solution for the same problem.

https://codeforces.net/contest/2032/submission/289199769

I submitted the problem around 13 mins, and what was the solution? Just a 2 line observation. For problems with such simple solutions I dont get why there is Plag which takes place.

If I make a problem of "Given 2 numbers. print largest of the two". Or something like "Just output "1" ". These solutions have literally 1 line of code and people will have similar solutions.

The person who was affected with me is Adarsh_JD -> https://codeforces.net/contest/2032/submission/289205979 . I dont know who he is or have ever even interacted with him.

I wonder what could I or he could have changed in this solution so it wouldnt plag. I would also like to ask Sagita_Phoenix to take a look at this particular issue. Thank you.
