I think the sample test cases for https://www.codechef.com/START252C/problems/SKIPONE are not correct. Can you please confirm ?

I found I'm competing with all silicon brains. When I solved the first two questions and look at the rank board, I found there are lots of participants have AKed the contest.

Indians, you win. I recommend you to participate in one contest called Codeforces Blitz Cup, and in my view yall have the chance to get the champion!

    using AI/LLMs is really a issue across the entire CP community, but generalizing all Indian coders isnt fair, plenty of us compete honestly:)

      emmm.. 'cause almost all the top rankers on the board are Indians?

      Or maybe people from other countries are not likely to participate in CC nowadays

        i think india has the largest user base on CC which is around 40k active users i think, even on CF alone, there are around 10,000 active indian users (please correct me if i m wrong) although india also DO have a large number of cheaters, it goes both way some cheat, many are genuine grinders :)

        sorry for late reply :<
