False accusation of violating codeforces rules

Revision en1, by AhmedEl-Gohary, 2022-08-31 16:19:19

I was sent a system message as follows: Attention! Your solution 170296922 for the problem 1722G significantly coincides with solutions Gaurav_Arora/170273818, om_arsa_2312/170279944, nihal_gupta/170293955, AhmedEl-Gohary/170296922. 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._

All I did was using this blog: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-n-distinct-numbers-whose-bitwise-xor-is-equal-to-k/ Which is perfectly fine to use pre-written code as far as I am concered!! I adjusted my code accordingly to solve Div4G and didn't communicate with anyone in the round. Here is my code check it out for yourself: https://codeforces.me/contest/1722/submission/170296922

MikeMirzayanov plz fix this issue, this was my highest rated round and this is a false accusation!!
