Dear Codeforces Team,

I recieved a message saying the following:

Attention! Your solution 375797801 for the problem 2229C1 significantly coincides with solutions kitkat_769/375797801, ImmaAlexM/375833572. 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. Such violation of the rules may be the reason for blocking your account or other penalties. In case of repeated violations, your account may be blocked.

I want to clarify that on close inspection of our implementation, it's very clear that the solution was very generic-looking, neither do I know the other person and have communicated in contest, and it has been misclassified as a false positive. Please, I request you to check this manually, as it has happened before to me before as well.

Yours faithfully, kitkat_769

Dear Codeforces Team,

I support ghzin's argument. The coding style of both of our submissions is very generic, and it is truly a false positive. Also, we have not communicated ever before this contest, and we both solved the respective problem(2170-C) independently. Kindly inspect and re-evaluate this manually.

Regards, kitkat_769
