flownn Attention!

Your solution 238049911 for the problem 1914E2 significantly coincides with solutions artemfad/238024787, karitkar7/238026318, manikanta2004/238028742, heckeruwuu/238042370,flownn/238049911, ayush_jhajharia/238050136. Such a coincidence is a clear rules violation. Note that unintentional leakage is also a violation. For example, do not use ideone.com with the default settings (public access to your code). If you have conclusive evidence that a coincidence has occurred due to the use of a common source published before the competition, write a comment to post about the round with all the details. More information can be found at http://codeforces.me/blog/entry/8790.

If you look at E1 and E2, I was not able to think of the greedy criteria of a[i] + b[i] at first so i had brute forced it for E1. I coded this up in the last 5 minutes when the solution came up to me. Idk what else i can do to justify my innocence :/

I am writing in response to the email I received regarding the similarity of my code with others in the recent contest.

I would like to firmly assert that at no point did I engage in any form of dishonesty or cheating during the competition. The code I submitted was entirely the product of my own thought process and effort. I had diligently worked on the problems and developed the solutions independently, without any external assistance or copying from any source.

I was not aware of the similarity of my code with that of other participants until I received your email. This coincidence is as surprising to me . I understand the importance of integrity in programming contests and always strive to uphold these values.

I am open to any form of investigation or scrutiny you deem necessary to clarify this situation.

Thank you for your understanding and attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue.
