Problem Related to Contest rating and submission
By Mu_Code_Wizard, history, 12 months ago, In English

I have participated in three codeforces contests and in two of the contests, I successfully solved two problems. These problems reflected in the solved category of rated solved problems in my account and even passed the hacking round as it showed as "Accepted" and not just "Pretests Passed". However when the contest ratings are released, it shows I have solved 0 problems and only shows the wrong submission which I had given and ignores the correct ones. Please help me out on how to resolve this matter or guide me if I am doing something wrong.

Happens mainly coz one of the following reasons: 1.Either you already had submitted the same solution which is not the case here. 2.Your code matched highly with someone's code due to cheating or coincidentally.

It's probably because of the plagiarism checks. Codeforces has a habit of skipping Java submissions, especially if you only solve the few problems because many Java programs tend to look very similar (I've seen it happen to a few of my friends). Don't be discouraged from using Java though, its a rather rare occurrence and I think you just got unlucky.
