No one should share his/her Accepted solution during a live contest.

However, suppose someone shares an accepted solution during the live contest to his friends or public telegram channels. In that case, good people should feed the code to a plagiarism checker[currently we don't have such functionality on codeforces MikeMirzayanov ].

The plagiarism checker will easily find the original author and others who copied the code. It is similar to hacking post-contest, but we submit plags during a live contest here. There should be a reward for the first plag finder.

This will surely discourage solution-sharing during live contests.

What mistake I'm Doing?

The python code is working fine but C++ doesn't.

PYTHON

N = 1000000000000000000
i = 2
c = 0
while 1 + i + i * i + i * i * i <= N:
    temp = 1 + i + i * i + i * i * i
    x = i * i * i
    while temp <= N:
        c += 1
        x = x * i
        temp = temp + x
    i += 1
print(c)

I am a Specialist.

Need help moving forward.
