problem solutions were leaked during the Educational Codeforces Round 186 except F2. Several YouTube channels and Telegram groups shared full solutions.I choose not to post any links here to avoid encouraging cheating. This seriously affected the fairness of the contest.








Yup. These cheaters disgust me. Do they have an ounce of morality within them? People wait for days in excitement to participate in these contests, and they go around ruining them! Go to hell!
Yeah, it was really depressing to see the number of AC solutions for D and E, increasing so rapidly :(
Try to stay positive. I hope this contest was just a little too easy.
Pupils literally solved till F within 15 min.
That's just the average pupil nowadays
can you report them on youtube (assuming anything is even done from that) or can they only be banned on codeforces? this is actually worrying
also are these submissions exactly the same because then they would be easy to catch
I sadly don't think a video can be taken down from youtube because it violates the TOS of another site, but I could be wrong
Do they earn any money from solving edu rounds?
no, but some sell the solutions for D,E,F for 50-100 rs each
Lol seriously, people actually buy solutions for ratings?
What is the purpose of cheating on codeforces?, is it seen in some professional setting?
Codeforces must find some solution to stop this cheating, this is seriously ruining the cp community. CP has just become some joke even some unrated accounts are in the top 20 :(
So let me get this straight, this guy https://codeforces.me/profile/Ananya_CodeNova has a Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/@CodeNovaYT where he is live streaming contests and displaying solutions directly and pasting them into YT comment section, Telegram group and google drive.
Not only he is not banned, his submissions are not even skipped.
Additionally, there are at least 10-15 contestants in the top100 that have basically identical code and not even they are banned.
This is an absolute joke.
He has been banned.
Indeed he is finally banned. All it took is a few people complaining here and on codeforces reddit. As far as I can see on the leaderboard of the latest div2 round, almost no other blatant cheater that had the same solutions as our main guy have been banned. One gone, hundreds more to go.
All of this is absolutely ridiculous.
Just wait until MOSS detects them, they´ll be banned eventually and rollbacks will happen.
Hopping that codeforces finds a way to ban all cheaters because it isn't fair. some peoples try hard to perform better and hoping for +rating but these cheater sol problems by cheating and get good rank and we just....
Guys can I share solution on Youtube after the contest?
Yes, many others share their approach after contest, just never during contest.
yeah, you are free to discuss and post solutions, but that is only after the contest has ended
do you have Yt channel?
live cheating These guys are cheating in live. They are sharing code and ig using AI and also celebrating them.
