coincidence or someone is having fun with multiple alt accounts?

Автор gholyo, история, 10 месяцев назад, По-английски

In today's contest, as I was searching for solutions, I stumbled upon this unique standings page. It is flooded with accounts bearing anime character names. Upon checking, I noticed that all these accounts share the same creation date, along with identical solutions and submissions, with slight variations. Note: unmark show unofficial

I also noticed that they all participated in the same contests. Like "Goodbye 2023".

Yeah, for sure. There are about 39 accounts, and even an accounts we can't see, but the plagiarism check may detect it.

All the codes begin with...

from itertools import chain, combinations, permutations
from collections import defaultdict, Counter, deque
from math import ceil, floor, gcd, inf, log2, sqrt
from bisect import bisect_right as upper_bound
from bisect import bisect_left as lower_bound
from random import choices, randint, sample
from functools import lru_cache, reduce
from heapq import heappop, heappush
from sys import stdin, stdout
from gzip import decompress
import builtins

and then some useless algorithm templates,

and a line which is the only line that solves the problem:

exec(decompress("something I can't understand"))

finally, some useless operations on a variable.

He must tried very hard to cheat. LMAO

What a amazing cheat way that all the "useless templates" are different lol

This let me think a way of having high rating:

Create a base account and a lot of accounts. Use the base account to solve the problems normally. If you feel good, choose some accounts to submit the compressed solutions.

Looks like a cheater is trying really hard to not get caught and he succeeded this time....

it's not only this time, he participated in 4 to 6 previous contests and he passed

But as this post is sent, I think he (or they?) will be caught soon.

Maybe @omeganot and @sum (two authors) will be useful.

Seriously, will this case just be passed over? There are 39 bots taking rank sub 500. Anyone can see these are obviously bot accounts by their submission time, account creation date, and code. Since they are so many, even now it affects the scoreboard and I wonder how many bot accounts I'll have to fight if these kinds of cases just get passed over.

Probably it will not pass, i can't remember when was the last time they made a roll back, but i expect a roll back that clears the leaderboard tonight or after the edu tomorrow, just be patient.

It's very easy to find who the culprit is, actually. By taking what is inside the exec function in their codes (the decompress("a bunch of bullshit") thing), we get the source code that got processed by some sort of program and mass submitted in the bot accounts. For example, here's the source code for D

Spoiler

import sys
from bisect import bisect_right
input = sys.stdin.readline
def solve():
    n, q = map(int, input().split())
    sz = []
    ele = []
    bda = 10**19
    prf = [-1] * (n+1)
    for i in range(n):
        a2 = list(map(int, input().split()))
        b = a2[0]
        if b == 1:
            x = a2[1]
            if not sz:
                sz.append(0)
                ele.append(x)
            else:
                sz.append(sz[-1] + 1)
                ele.append(x)
        else:
            x = a2[1]
            oh = (sz[-1] + 1) * (x + 1) - 1
            if oh >= bda:
                sz.append(bda)
                continue
            sz.append(oh)
            ele.append(ele[-1])
            prf[i] = sz[-1] + 1
    a3 = list(map(int, input().split()))
    for iii in range(q):
        num = a3[iii] - 1
        while True:
            ex = bisect_right(sz, num) - 1
            if sz[ex] == num:
                print(ele[ex], end=" ")
                break
            num = num % (sz[ex] + 1)
    print()
    
    if __name__ == "__main__":
    for _ in range(int(input())):
        solve()

Now we just gotta have a program search for this on the contest submissions and find the author of the code.
