Hi BiggestOtaku,
I noticed that your identity differs between Codechef and Codeforces profiles. On Codechef, your profile (link) mentions that you're from India (screenshot), while your Codeforces profile indicates Antarctica (screenshot). Is there a particular reason behind this discrepancy? Are you changing your location intentionally for prize eligibility in Codechef contests?
It would be great if you could clarify. Thanks!
Bruh I just kept it as antarctica cause it looks funny, initially I had it as Japan for (obviously no apparent reason), also I am actually from India only, college IIT BHU.
What about the announcement of the winners?
