Dear Codeforces Community,

I’m writing this post in response to the recent allegations made by user 'Auchenai01' accusing me of cheating in Codeforces Round 1004 (Div. 2). First, I want to express my gratitude to the Codeforces community for the opportunities and challenges it has provided, and I deeply respect the integrity and the spirit of fair play that this platform upholds.

Addressing the Allegations

I want to be crystal clear. I understand that the competitive nature of Codeforces can sometimes lead to suspicions, but I assure you that all of my submissions and performances are a result of my own hard work, effort, and practice.

The accusation that I cheated is not only inaccurate but also a misunderstanding that can happen in the highly competitive and fast-paced environment of Codeforces contests. I take these claims seriously and wish to clear up any confusion. To anyone who believes that I’ve violated the rules of Codeforces, I encourage you to examine my history of submissions and participation in contests, as I have always adhered to the platform's guidelines.

The Nature of Competitive Programming

Competitive programming is inherently difficult and sometimes, when a participant performs better than expected or completes problems faster than others, it can spark doubts in others. However, these results are simply the outcome of consistent effort, learning, and practice. Every successful coder has worked long hours solving problems, learning algorithms, and refining problem-solving strategies.

In the case of Round 1004 (Div. 2), I completed my solutions fairly and with great effort, just like every other participant. No shortcuts, no dishonesty. My performance is simply a reflection of my growth as a programmer over time.

My Commitment to Fair Play

I want to reiterate that I respect the integrity of Codeforces and all its participants. I’ve always strived to maintain an honest and competitive approach in every contest I enter. Cheating not only undermines the platform but also disrespects the community that Codeforces has built over the years. It is something I would never engage in.

If there are any doubts regarding my performance, I welcome any investigation or clarification from the moderators or anyone who can help verify my claims. I believe in the fairness of the Codeforces community and trust that this misunderstanding can be resolved with transparency.

Moving Forward

To all my fellow competitors, I ask for your understanding and support as we continue to grow together in this community. To those who may still have questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me directly—I’m more than willing to discuss and address any misunderstandings.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I hope this clears up any confusion, and I look forward to continuing to participate in Codeforces contests with all of you in the future, under the spirit of fairness and respect.

Stay competitive, stay fair, and let’s continue to learn from each other.
