Cheating in Educational Codeforces Round 178
By KluydQ, history, 17 months ago, In English

Codeforces is getting more talented guys:

This pupil solved A, B, D, E in 11 minute (he's not banned yet). He has a LOT of text in the code, as an AI would do (he did that code in 1 minute). Should we just close our eyes on this? Codeforces should take some action against cheaters.

He's not the only one who did this. After the contest results, I noticed 3–4 accounts that are currently rated as newbie, yet managed to solve Problem E. These accounts were registered only 14 days ago and have solved just 11 problems so far. How is this even possible? Codeforces should seriously check for plagiarism in such cases.

I wonder which chatbot do these cheaters use... cause to get till e within 10-15 mins must take a lot of work thats why he probably doesn't have the time to remove the comments.

There is something weird about the text:

  • Poor translation from English to Vietnamese

  • Has Vietnamese on top and English at the bottom

Even if you are bad at Vietnamese, you still wouldn't translate this badly
