Cheating in Round 923(Div 3)-Problem E
By whitepalace, history, 10 months ago, In English

There are many similiar codes in Problem E of Round 923(Div 3) which cause unfair to genuine coders.

Here is the plagiarized code:

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#ifdef LOCAL
#include "algo/debug.h"
#else
#define debug(...) 42
#endif
int main() {
  ios::sync_with_stdio(false);
  cin.tie(0);
  int tt = 1;;
  cin >> tt;;
  while (tt--) {
    int n, k;
    cin >> n >> k;
    vector<int> v(n);
    vector<int> a(k);
    a[0] = n; 
    a[1] = 1;
    for (int i = 0; i < k; i++) {
      int sign = (i % 2 == 0 ? -1 : 1), move = 0, mn = n + 1, mx = 0;
      for (int j = i; j < n; j += k) {
        v[j] = a[i] + sign * move++;
        mx = max(mx, v[j]);
        mn = min(mn, v[j]);
      }
      if (sign == -1) {
        if (i + 2 < k) {
          a[i + 2] = mn &mdash; 1;
        }
      }
      else {
        if (i + 2 < k) {
          a[i + 2] = mx + 1;
        }
      }
    }
    for (int &it : v) {
      cout << it << ' ';
    }
    cout << '\n';
  }
  return 0;
}

    yes also in my comment first and last one has made unnecessary variables uses too in both problem D and E . Both are exact same sols.

from here one can observe that they cheated from there as there same sols got posted. With just minor variable changes plus some extra variables which have no meaning like in the 245222848 submission he/she used two for loops instead of one just to avoid getting detected. similarly 245220824, Thanks to othmaine for sharing the link with me from where sols the cheaters got .

hey guys I am new in cp , I have only participated in hello 2024 and the yesterday's div 3 contest. But for the hello 2024 , I got rated +373 but for yesterday's contest (923) I have solved 1 problem correctly (the 1st one) but it didnt give me any rating and in profile it also doesnt show I have participated in the contest. Why is that?

I believe there will be a temporary rating rollback for this round to remove those cheaters' submissions

when the logic is the same for different people it is probably they will have code that will look similar i don't think you can tackle that problem.

I think there should be a report option so the team can take appropriate actions against them..

    Hope so when temp rating roll back happens then all those cheaters links posted here gets penalised.
