telegram_cheaters's blog

By telegram_cheaters, 5 months ago, In English

Last time, I was talking about Abhipsita Das, who is the head of Indian cheaters. After my series of blogs was taken down and I received no reply to my personal messages regarding this from any officials, I am now showing you some solutions that have not been addressed so far. These codes are from Abhipsita Das

Cheated submissions for the above problems are :

Since mass cheating is nowadays a quite common phenomena I have also planned to make a discord community where if anyone is interested in volunteering for exposing cheaters then they can drop the IDs of users who they suspect of cheating and it will be posted as a blog after each contest. Here's the server link : https://discord.gg/4qZHJert

    one reason apart from cheating can be due to the duration being 3 hrs long..people hav more time to think about and the dp Q itself isn't that complicated

      Don't you think this problem roots in the hiring process in India which is leading to the downfall of CP in India. If only the hiring problem can be solved with adequate measure during OA and Interview I believe this would automatically subside. Companies should have to be able to rule out these weeds out of the process.

        You're absolutely correct. It makes far more sense to filter initial candidates based on just their experience/projects than to use OJ ratings as a filter. Algorithmic prowess gets tested in OAs anyway, especially now it makes no sense to filter people based on rating. The only other solution is for people to come to their senses, which is less probable to happen :/

I am saying for those who are doing this kind of cheating, the whole world is there for stealing scams, you go there, don't come here to cheat us. Each of our points is hard earned, behind each point there is a story of many sleepless nights, a story of many disappointments. When I see a person who has not solved a problem in a year submits three or four problems during the contest time, then the will to fight is gone. Your stealing points will not be of any use in your life, rather adding some frustration in our life.

      I didn't understand things well at the beginning, we were doing the contest as a team of three, we didn't know that we have to make separate teams for teaming, we all three submitted the same solution but later I realized that it was wrong without my knowledge. Later such foolishness was not done again

There was a recent blog on mass cheating, and almost everyone mentioned in it got their submissions skipped. Let's hope, this blog can do the same job.

    In my opinion, Codeforces should take stronger measures against cheating. Simply stopping the submissions of candidates mentioned in the blog doesn't address the issue fully—what about those who cheated but weren't caught? Instead of focusing on exposé blogs after each contest, the platform should emphasize its role as a place for quality questions and fair competition. I urge the officials to implement stricter policies and take decisive action against cheaters to maintain the integrity and value of the contests.

    Very thanks to telegram_cheaters for addressing this issue.

I strongly believe that the time of hacks has come to an end. It is only used by cheaters nowadays.

If I was able to check correctly, today we had zero hacks and zero solutions to fail system testing. And, as it seems, with strong pretests the contest is still ok.

The hacks system has been designed in 2010-ish, when the image-to-text technologies were way less efficient. Nowadays if someone is able to write any solution that passes pretests, they would get access to all room's solutions for the problem and can easily convert those into text to be distributed. It makes cheating easier and less trivial to be detected.

I know that many people love hacks and advocate for them to stay in place, but definitely leaving them within coding phase is not an option anymore.

    Totally agreed. I think having an independent hacking phase after the coding phase (aka TopCoder style) is strictly better. It allows hacking of unsolved problems, too.

    (BTW I think pretests can be weaker if we separate the hacking phase. Nowadays in-contest hacks are basically non-existent and pretests are almost equivalent to final tests, which allows "keep submitting until AC" style solving.)

Bro Abhipsita Das is my friend, and we live together; yesterday, we both watched a movie, and he did not even attempt any problem. Stop defamming him without any reason, you shitters have just found one scrapegoat and target him without any reason.

He is one of the great coders I have seen, stop targetting an innocent hardworking coder. You should target the actual cheaters and the ones who leaked the solution if there were any. I am unaware of this as I also didn't appear in the contest.

    i haven’t seen a single reply from the accused cheater Abhipsita Das (1_2_3_4_5_9) on any of the posts about his wrong tactics, apart from his PR team. it seems he has accepted it himself, but his team couldn’t. i think his 'PR' team should also accept that we all know. Maybe this time he hasn't, but he has been doing it for a long time.

I hope you guys never get accepted in any company . Especially the ring leader he should be banned from codeforces. see the image below ,how is instructing bunch of shitshead to downvote the blog , all the people who downvoted should be banned too.

I mean cheating is bad and we all know it, right? and exposing these cheaters to the public will do anything? Maybe you can just divert your time and give me some ideas on how we can implement an anti-cheat system in Codeforce and ping MIKE with such idea's, so he might think about it. That will be more helpful.

    May be It'll sound bad but one possible solution is to don't allow anybody to change the tabs and keeping the contest in full screen, such that nobody can open other applications simultaneously, and one thing that will be painful but to disallow copy and pasting in contests , these all features are possible because I attempted a contest in such environment.

    many will argue that templates wont be in action but it will be same for everybody, I think implementing these wont terminate cheating compleltely because of smartphones but still imo it can help to some extent.

          Yes, here are some suggestions from my side:
          1. Block the account for 5 contests/1 per month on the first offense and permanently ban thereafter.
          2. Remove the hacking solution during contests; have open hacking after the contest ends.
          3. Give the option to report the account with proof like Leetcode.

    Hello! I have not solved problem E in yesterday's round, and my solution for problem D is something I have written on my own, generated by my own idea. I do not participate in any cheating activities done by mass leakers, neither do I have the intention of doing so as a high schooler who actively participates in coding olympiads and wants to improve. The only time I have participated in the action of sending codes written by others, was when I have sent codes written by my friends, afraid of losing rating(which can be seen by the skipped codes in my profile, AND which is the reason I was a pupil in the previous round), for which I have already been punished and won't do ever again. I certainly do know that there are a bunch of mass leaks during rounds, but I am not a person who takes part in them.

    Hello! I am a college student who actively participates in coding contests and is committed to improving my skills. I did not solve problem E in div(1+2) round, and my solution for problem D is entirely my own work. I do not engage in cheating activities or participate in mass leaks. I am aware of the widespread cheating during rounds, but I do not partake in such activities. The only time I have submitted code written by someone else was when I sent solutions from my friends, fearing a drop in my rating. This is evident from the skipped codes in my profile, and I have already been punished for it. I request you to remove my name!

I was not able to solve C, if I was copying wouldn't have I copied C as well? I know that you are working hard to expose the cheaters, but I am not one of them buddy. I used to practice earlier and have restarted with a fresh account, so might look like a newbie solved D so definitely a cheater but it's not. Requesting you to please remove my name from this list.

Moreover, what would i get with cheating as i do it for fun and improve my thinking ability. You can't just go around and report people who are practicing and improving themselves and when they start showing results, you report them. I am not angry just that could you atleast see my submission before accusing and my history of contests. Thanks.

    Hello, I'm not sure why I was flagged by you for cheating, but I didn't do so. I think my code for E is pretty unique, so I assume my solution for D is similar to others? Not sure why that would be, but out of the thousands of submissions there's bound to be similarities for no reason. I've never sent any of my code to others and I just started participating in contests because it's now the summer and I can actually compete in the contests which are in the morning for me. I've also reached the USACO Platinum division, so if you are concerned that I shouldn't be able to reach D/E, I definitely can, and you shouldn't be accusing people based off that anyways. I understand there are a lot of leaks during the contest, but I never have and never will participate in them. Also, I would appreciate it if you removed the phrase "confirmed cheaters" and replace it with something like "potential cheaters", because you clearly don't know when people are actually cheating and when they aren't.

tips for the sane:

  1. use ublock origin (if you don't, you're retarded and its over)
  2. right click and block the recent actions element, no posts there are worth it anyway these days (not since influx from a certain country)

idk why i even bothered to write this, guess i'm retarded

these type of incident happen in my college and all our college student really shamed the person who did this. And, after that he stopped doing that, I think IIT bhu student don't have any integrity. Not a single comment from any student of IIT bhu regarding this. You all had senior like demorlizer who eveyone respects and admire. Don't spoil their legacy.

May be It'll sound bad but one possible solution is to don't allow anybody to change the tabs and keeping the contest in full screen such that nobody can open other applications simultaneously, and one thing that will be painful but to disallow interplatform copy and pasting in contests , these all features are possible because I attempted a contest in such environment.

many will argue that templates wont be in action but it will be same for everybody, I think implementing these wont terminate cheating compleltely because of smartphones but still imo it can help to some extent.

a better solution will be to form anti cheating teams that should monitor YT streams and telegram channels

The saddest part is that even 5th problem in Div (1+2) is being used by cheaters. Basically it has became quite hard for people to become CM and master. Imagine how hard it must be now to become pupil, specialist or expert. I was really surprised by that solve count of C, D and E last contest. And guess what my rating became 1899 after that contest. Missed becoming CM by 1 rating.

Vartika_foo also cheated in the div(1+2) round. 268198897 and 268202412 these are the two submissions for problem D in two languages python and c++ . They have added 2 random functions that arent even called to avoid plagiarism. The user also has previous history of skipped submissions and also commented that they wont repeat it again. The solution matches exactly from the solution in the google drive that was being circulated during the contest.

    The functions are there because I used them in some other problem of the same contest and forgot to delete them. People could have locked their problems, copied others' solutions, and circulated them quickly. I don't want to be rude, but people can have similar ideas, and d is a dp problem; dp problems usually have very similar approaches. I don't know what's wrong with that. I submitted it again in C++ after Python because Python gave runtime errors, and sometimes, in c or d, Python doesn't work perfectly. Both of them are the same codes. I resubmitted it to resolve the runtime error issue, which I think is acceptable. Besides that, I don't want to indulge in any fight so that I will leave this matter here only. I believe code forces moderators will do their job.

        They are all the same but every one obfuscates in his own method, but the essence (logic and code structure) of recursive dp is the same. for example, using frequency array instead of frequency map, INT_MIN instead of large negative , passing excessive unneeded parameters or using tilde operator instead of != -1

I would like to see a stricter verification while opening a new account. Maybe codeforces can start using PHONE NUMBER VERIFICATION or some similar strong measure for verification of ids. This way, it will be harder to make alts, which in turn will make it harder for cheaters to re participate once banned. It will also ensure that only serious people join codeforces.

    @alphonso7 Kindly go through my id once, you can clearly see I have been Pupil since a long time and honestly attempting my contests for the sake of practise rather than focusing on the rank/standings. If I have to cheat or been cheating, then easily I had become a specialist by this time. Don't try to defame the innocents...

    I coded the question myself, the logic to the questions in last div2. was pretty standard and you will find hundreds of similar solutions for that reason alone. I have been doing cf since 2 years and have not cheated, its very disrespectful of you to put allegations just because I belong to the same college. I know there has been lots of cheating in past few rounds and I myself have been troubled by it. It's good you are trying to point out cheaters, I want them gone too, but stop putting baseless allegations. Its not a new account, I have been pupil since march, be careful on whom you call cheater!!!

      They don't have empathy dude. I've seen them doing these things and their intentions are not only to catch cheaters but also defaming the person behind that's why they add professional, personal details in that much detail. They are highly inhuman.. they think they will make cf a better platform by doing these things.

    Hi alphonso7,

    I noticed you mentioned my name in relation to cheating in the EPIC Institute of Technology Round Summer 2024 contest (Div. 1 + Div. 2), specifically for problem D. I need to let you know that I did not participate in this contest.

    I appreciate your efforts to catch cheaters, but please double-check your information before tagging someone. Misidentifying people can cause a lot of harm to their reputation.

    Also, please use your official ID when posting such accusations. If you believe you are right, there's no need to hide.

    Thanks for understanding.

I agree there have been many such cheating instances. Many channels simply leak solutions which does not even make any sense . Hacking phase must be strictly after the contest. Earlier it was NEET and now even here. I wonder what will be the condition in future:(

    In India, decent CP rating (CF, Leetcode, etc) increases your chance to get called for online interview or having good salary. Probably, people that believes they are good at software engineering are feeling unfair with this fact. They take whatever it takes to get a job with high salary.
