Wrongly accused of plagarism
By anujmishra, history, 3 weeks ago, In English

Hi everyone,

I'm reaching out because I’ve been wrongly accused of plagiarism for solution E(1999E). I want to clarify that I have neither shared my code with anyone nor copied it from anyone else. Also, I have been using Codechef's IDE, which is not where our solutions get published.

You can verify that my previous submission resulted in a Time Limit Exceeded (TLE), and I’ve since optimized my approach by memoizing all possible results in a vector. I’m more than willing to answer any questions or provide further explanations regarding my solution. This might be a coincidence.

I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.

Thank you.

      ngl, that's a LOT, and that kinda looks like a message someone would get if they used telegram... Plus this isn't your first time being convicted of cheating...

      Proof

        I am not a part of any telegram group. Also, earlier, I admit it was my fault that I shared my solutions with my friends. I was naive at that time. But honestly, recently I again started giving these contests without receiving or giving any help.

        In this case, I assure you that I have not done anything wrong. I want to come clean now.

          I really want to believe you, however the amount of similar codes is still highly sus. Normally, I would believe you if it were 2 or 3 people, but 20+ is kinda... questionable.

            I understand that's what makes this situation confusing for me as well. However, these are the only details I can provide. My solution wasn't something I came up with on the spot. If you look at my earlier submissions for the same problem, you'll see that I initially submitted a brute-force approach (which resulted in TLE). Then, I refined my approach by calculating all possible outcomes and using them.

            I believe this is purely a coincidence, though I can't prove it any further.

            Regardless, I assure you that I am not engaging in any unfair practices. I participate in contests purely for the enjoyment and the learning experience they provide.

    I am not one of them. I know the frustration of cheaters. It frustrates me as well and took all the fun in giving contests.
