Your code here...
Hi everyone, One of the problems I submitted to Codechef appeared in Codeforces Round #753 (Div. 3). The problem I submitted was rejected in the month of April 2021. The problem doesn't even look like a variant of my idea. There may not be any common link (either the platform or the admin who approved/rejected the ideas) between these two problems. But somebody else coming with the exact same idea is not convincing. I am attaching the screenshots of both the problems. I don't even know whom to tag since I am new to this Community.
Use the Google Drive link in case the above SS is not clear.
Any thoughts on this are welcomed. I kinda feel betrayed.
@MikeMirzayanov any thoughts on this?

there are high chances of coincidence of being similar in easy tasks.
I don't think the chances are high (at least for this problem). Both the scenarios are exactly the same.
There are several problems on cf that are about robots and a sequence of moves. I remember solving one that was also about not going out of bounds (this was way before round 753).

This problem is quite natural to come up with and is fairly standard as well.
