Falsely accused by plagiarism checker in last DIv.1+2 round problem B
By codevengers, history, 4 months ago, In English

Today, I received a message from codeforces that my code for problem B significantly coincides with other people's codes. I neither copied anyone else solution nor shared mine, it was just a coincidence, considering the problem was straightforward to minimize the contribution of 1 in k+1 by clubbing all increments at other indices with the index which requires max increment. This is my code and it was mentioned to match with 268144921, 268151236. Mail said to provide conclusive evidence that it was a coincidence, so who should I contact and how am I supposed to prove it?MikeMirzayanov, Vladithur

Man I don't know what's wrong with codeforces even if your 2 line code is same it makes it skipped I have been learning and practicing leetcode fora long time but no problem there but when I use codeforces there are 90% chances my contest would go unrated because of this system even though I didn't cheat

    There are cases in which someone in your room might have seen your solution ( for hacking ) and passed it to others via some cheating channels. In that case you are kinda helpless.

    I've been using the same template in every contest. It is not like I used it for the first time, same goes for variables. I've been using same code in every contest with only necessary changes.

I suppose I'm just somehow very lucky that I have never been skipped, and nor has anyone at all whom I know... why does this seem to affect everyone but me? genuinely curious...

Even though I didn't cheat, I was accused of plagiarism. It is the 1st time that I've been noted for plagiarism, and even though I had a -ve delta in this round, I've still raised this issue because I don't like to appear as a cheater, so please take consider this request thoroughly. I'm already an expert, and I've no reason to cheat in problem B as I would've solved it anyway.MikeMirzayanov, Vladithur
