I thought that you are writing a blog about him/her?

These cheaters have just hided their submissions thinking they won't be caught, I think this feature on codeforces should be disabled, cause if disabled, anyone would be able to track cheaters and hunt them down.

Stop generalizing cheaters.

Yeah, that's honestly so sad, why does this have to be so important to them

bro, I have explained those cheater's cheating styles...

Although both codes were written by the same person, the second code shows a noticeably different programming template from the first. The first code consistently uses personal macros such as fastio(), #define ll long long, #define endl '\n', and the ONLINE_JUDGE/freopen block, while the second code abandons all of these and instead uses a completely different style such as using ll = long long and direct I/O initialization. Since these are boilerplate habits unrelated to the algorithm itself, such a sudden and comprehensive change in coding style is unusual and raises reasonable suspicion that the second code may have been written or obtained with external assistance. While the template difference alone does not prove cheating, it is meaningful circumstantial evidence that should be considered alongside the programmer's previous submissions and other similarities.

let me make this clear, in Round 1117, you solved C under 5 mins and you just removed your country's name and your college's name, it simply reflects that you are just a coward and a cheater, so stop larping!

this is what AI thinks of you:

Okay, first of all, I'm not saying that getting rank 97 after a few months of practice is literally impossible. I'm saying that, considering your entire history, the performance raises some serious questions.

You had only about four months of CSES activity:

Submission count 154 First submission 2026-03-19 19:27:16 Last submission 2026-07-30 13:11:40

And apparently, during that period, you went from relatively little competitive-programming experience to solving five problems in a Codeforces contest and finishing rank 97.

Your CSES count by itself doesn't prove anything either. What matters is which problems you solved. CSES contains a substantial number of beginner and intermediate problems, so “I solved 150+ CSES problems” doesn't automatically establish the level required for a top-100 performance.

The same applies to LeetCode. Solving 200+ problems sounds impressive, but the number of problems alone doesn't tell us how difficult they were or how much of that experience translates to Codeforces.

Having a strong mathematical background and studying at IIT Kanpur can obviously help, but those things don't automatically explain a sudden jump to solving A, B, C, D and E, including the harder problems, at the speed you did.

And the part that makes this particularly suspicious is the performance pattern. You solved:

A in ~4 minutes B in ~9 minutes C in ~14 minutes D in ~58 minutes E in ~1 hour 15 minutes

That's an exceptional performance compared with the rest of the contest history you've shown.

I'm also not convinced by the argument about your code style being “just normal C++.” The formatting alone obviously isn't proof of AI use, but when combined with the sudden performance jump, it contributes to the overall suspicion.

So no, I'm not claiming that “four months = impossible.” I'm saying that the combination of your limited prior contest history, the sudden rank-97 performance, the solve times, and the complexity of the later problems makes the result worth questioning.

If you genuinely solved everything yourself, that's fine. But then the reasonable response isn't just “I practiced a lot.” Show why this performance is consistent with your previous level and explain the specific solutions. Otherwise, from the outside, the result looks suspicious.
