Do look into this and conduct a plag test, as there are hundreds of submissions with the exact same code, just with the variables changed. Removing 100s of such users from the leaderboard will be very good, especially for those with ranks>5000. Kindly look into this MikeMirzayanov

So many people have used the same code surprisingly for problem C. Agreed it was pretty easy, but so many submissions is surprising to see. Most of them have similar logics, some of them changed their entire code from the previous incorrect attempts in a matter of minutes.

Submissions: 176764109, 176765007, 176759508, 176765416, 176764960 and so many more. MikeMirzayanov please look into this excessive plagiarism on problem C, and do the needful.

I thought it was a dumb question to ask as a specialist-expert, therefore I chose to create an alt. My bad.

Nah, both the cheaters and leakers should get banned. But of course you'll say this, you got caught cheating and hence the comment.

What's the point of having a contest for 3.5 hours when the majority of the participants solve only upto div 2 B and div 2 C if they are lucky. Having a contest for 3.5 hours is going to increase the cheating so much and people who genuinely tried the contest and failed to solve questions are going to be the ones affected. There are several telegram groups (example: @allcodingsolution_ltd) where answers are being circulated, both paid and unpaid, which you can see from mostly similar codes and sudden upsurge in the number of submissions. Please look into this CodeChef_admin and consider reducing the time of the contests to 2 or 2.5 hours as that is more than enough time to solve whatever questions someone can genuinely, any increase in the time only promotes cheating.

Half of the problems he has solved are rated below 1000. He's around the rating that is expected from someone on solving 800 1000 rated problems. Remember, Quality > Quantity. You can do like 2 hard problems a day and see more improvement than solving 50 800 rated problems a day.

Love how the guy casually flexed on me by saying he has a gf. Very cool loverBoUy, very cool. P.S: congratulations on pupil :).

Hacking is not a very easy thing to do, it takes patience to look through everyone's code and attempt to hack it, and hacking so many solutions in every contest is pretty impressive. The man's a legend and i hope he doesn't stop.

Ahh i see, thanks for answering
