Regarding: Educational Codeforces Round 90.

Your solution 85007735 for the problem 1373A significantly coincides with solutions d_psypher/85007675, pa14/85007735, aman_coder1/85008198, jcnee/85008279, testmac11/85011351. Such a coincidence is a clear rules violation. Note that unintentional leakage is also a violation. For example, do not use ideone.com with the default settings (public access to your code). If you have conclusive evidence that a coincidence has occurred due to the use of a common source published before the competition, write a comment to post about the round with all the details. More information can be found at http://codeforces.net/blog/entry/8790. Such violation of the rules may be the reason for blocking your account or other penalties. In case of repeated violations, your account may be blocked.

I'm a newbie and have just started competitive programming just few weeks ago. It's very pathetic to know from your side that you people without even examining handles of other matches coinciding with me, accusing me of plagiarism.

On examining my handle, you must clearly see that I write my own solutions of each problem despite of being not accepted many a times. It's quite harsh from your side. Please see to it as it was only my 4th contest and I was expecting a good rating change after the contest.

I know that it was my mistake by using Ideone one public access, but considering other handles with which my profile matches it can be seen that it was very likely that others did something unethical rather than mr.

P.S. I use Sublime for writing my codes and just compile on ideone..

please consider my request and consider me for rating. It's very depressing not getting a rating change even after performing in the contest.

Thanking You.

Look, you used IdeOne, and you didn't take the precautions to put code on private. Nobody cares if you compiled it there, coded it there, or ran it there, it was public.

I understand that not getting a rating change sucks. I don't know how well you would have done, but treat this as a lesson learned to maybe learn how to compile via command line :)
