Hi chromate00, MikeMirzayanov,

Please get this ID banned: https://codeforces.me/profile/longago_06

He's Ayush Ranjan from KIIT and has been CHEATING openly from a long time without getting flagged. He has given today's Div1 contest and ranked 70, reaching Master with a delta of +238.

Here are some proofs and suspicous behaviors:

Personally that F1 looks pretty conclusive of an evidence, we'll see what we can do about it.

      I don't actually have the permission myself, but the admin is aware of the issue. Currently they seem to be busy with a bunch of other contests to manage (quite evidently, there has been a lot of cases to handle since around Round 1078, I believe)

Everyone knows that this is a bait by you Maanas to defame me,you hated me from the very beginning ,right ? Let me explain just to you and answer all the wrong propaganda you are trying to spread :

1) You cannot prove that my solution is a reference of some other solution

2) I cannot claim that I am great at problem solving , there are problems where even I stuck sometimes , the rating map does not prove anything other than your rage , I believe in solving better quality of problems and just pick a few at a sitting to solve .

3) Everybody knows I am from India , I changed to japan because I admire maspy and jiangly fan club because I am a fan of jiangly , this is quite obvious from my coding style , but people like you just dox the shit out of everyone for absolutely no reason

4) That post is also from a hater like you .

    Not submitting F2 is pretty self explanatory that he cheated at least in this contest for sure. Sadly I used to believe that guy is genuine.

      do you really think I'm using the cheating situation for an excuse to be racist because I have nothing better to do with my time? It is a genuine concern and more extreme solutions will be more successful when light solutions can be and will be easily circumvented.

      Also you call some of them "idiots", well I think youre an idiot too, just not cheating. People who have over 10 contests and have dropped low into grey are most commonly indian or pakistani, true fact!

"He submitted today's F1 in Div1, if you submit that same solution to F2, it will get an AC, but he didn't submit it to avoid getting an even higher rank. Here's the solution link for your reference"

I believe that's not enough of an evidence, in the previous rated div2 I gave, I solved E1 using the observations required for E2 although 32*(n+m) queries were required for passing that, my solution was only taking (n+m+1), and I just needed to deal with 1 stupid mistake and it could've got AC for E2 as well. Although I know none of you, so I have no judgement over this.

    Today's F1 and F2 aren't that type. F1 requires O(log^2n) complexity per query, where F2 requires O(logn). But if someone has achieved O(1) per query, cant he simply submit it to F2?

    yeah, you are right. Haters will say it's ai and you are fraud, but you are so good. Can you tell what is the time complexity in your solution for F1 ?

    But unlike you he is real gm and submitted f2 while you didn't because you didn't have any idea what is the tc of your code or you didn't wanted to submit f2 as you would have got more better rank and chances of getting caught would have increased

Bro, I personally met him during the ICPC Amritapuri Regionals, and this so called master could only solve the first three easiest problems. He couldn't even solve the fourth. Meanwhile, many teams with members who are only at the Expert or Specialist level were able to solve the fourth and fifth problems. He was clearly exposed there, yet he hasn't stopped cheating. He also blocked me on LinkedIn because I challenged him to a Google Meet, I have solid proof of his cheating. In a LeetCode contest, he solved a digit-DP problem without realizing it was digit DP, and his tabulation solution exactly matched my friend's submission, which was also generated using AI. Cheating is dangerous the day he realizes his actual level, he may fall into deep depression if he doesn't stop soon.

      Could you share some progress with us, like how many cheater caught today (and the name too if allowed), and share what is the penalty for each of those cheater (depending on severity) and what is the general prevention method that could be improved in the future (but not revealing too much detailed info that to be exploited), etc..

      Sorry to say this but just saying "we are dealing with it" without details feels like some void/fake promise :( all cheater posted here and some other blog is lurking freely right now x(

        We pinpointed like about 3 types of solutions on div2G/div1F that we suspect are either from stronger AI models or from leaked solutions. A lot of them were found during the contest while we live-skipped a lot of users in Div. 1. Not all of those cheaters are banned/skipped yet, but the admin has been notified of these solutions as well. I personally believe a lot of those "cheater" submissions (at least on this one problem) will get sorted out in the usual plagiarism check, especially considering how most of them look unsurprisingly identical to one another.

        That being said, I will go through some top ranked participants to catch some evidence of ChatGPT usage. I can't guarantee that I can catch ~90% of them, but at least I do want to make the top 20 standings clean of cheaters

Hey maanassehgal,

Please add this to the list of proofs.

355388782 of a disabled account / known cheater.

355399645 of Mr. Ayush Ranjan from KIIT

its literally same except the corny variables like "sex/fuck" which he uses to obfuscate his code.

    I agree completely (commenting to keep at the top of resent actions). I think it is quite astounding how the CF cheaters keep on evolving to become practically investigable from real accounts (they can still be called out in in-person contests of course).

Hello [user:MikeMirzayanov][user:Vladosiya] Please ban this Cheater Profile: NeelmaniPandey09

Past few months, he has shown highly suspicious contest behavior and he used a new kind of technique to skip plagiarism detection.

Suspicious Rating Progression The user historically solved mostly 1200–1400 rated problems, yet within a short period they suddenly reached Candidate Master. Proof : https://ibb.co/BKVBzt2K Their practice activity and contest performance do not align:

Practice solves mostly low-mid rated problems. Proof : https://innocent-orange-sdqeznilzx.edgeone.app/

In contest he easily solves upto D within less than 20 mins of the time for each problem This mismatch appears repeatedly across multiple contests. This strongly suggests that the solutions used during contests are not written by him.

Suspicious Coding Style Used During Contests

Many of the contest submissions follow an unusual pattern that appears designed to avoid plagiarism detection.

Example submission:

364353196 359406088 358337498 358317398 and almost every contest submission is similar

Fact check: 1. Artificially Over-Engineered Code

The code is split into many unnecessarily long functions such as: computeNextOpen computeSuffixData computeBalances calculateMaxLen evaluateSplit

For cp, especially within the first 15 minutes of a contest, it is extremely uncommon to structure solutions with so many helper functions unless they are pre-written templates. These functions appear problem-specific, meaning they were likely generated or copied rather than written naturally during the contest.

2.** Excessive Use of do-while Loops** Nearly every loop in the code is written using do-while:

do {
    s.add(sStr.charAt(l));
} while (++l < n);
do {
    nextOpen.set(k, lastOpen);
    lastOpen = (s.get(k) == '(') ? k : lastOpen;
} while (--k >= 0);

It is rare to see do whiles in contest but he uses this for everything is extremely unusual in competitive programming. Most contestants use simple for loops. This appears to be an intentional attempt to obfuscate copied code. 3. Unnecessary Data Structures Example: HashMap<String, ArrayList> suffixData Used only to store two arrays: "open" "close" private void addToSegment(int id, int val) { segments.get(id).add(val); }

Any normal contest implementation would simply use two arrays:

int[] sufOpen int[] sufClose

Introducing a HashMap with string keys in a contest solution is inefficient and unnecessary, and strongly suggests code manipulation designed to change structure while preserving logic. 4. Overly Long Variable / Function Names Examples: calculateMaxLen computeSuffixData evaluateSplit checkIndex

who uses a super long function public static bluh bluh with very long data type and very long function name just to get value out of hashmap

  1. Unrealistic Typing Time These complex multi-function solutions were submitted within ~15 minutes of contest start. Given: multiple custom functions layered logic verbose naming unusual loop constructs

It is unlikely that such code was written from zero during the contest. Pattern Across Multiple Contests This is not a single suspicious submission. Across multiple contests: the same obfuscation style appears the same heavy function splitting the same do-while based loop style

Yet outside contests, the user's submissions appear much simpler and natural, which further increases suspicion.

I request to ban him NeelmaniPandey09
