ompetitive programming is built on hard work and integrity[user:monocode], but sometimes, those values are compromised. Recently, in Codeforces Round 975 (Div. 2), two participants, AhmedIbrahim24010 and monocode, were caught submitting nearly identical code for the same problem, raising concerns of plagiarism. Both are new to the platform, yet their actions cast a shadow over fair competition.

Here are the suspicious submissions:

AhmedIbrahim24010's submission monocode's submission approximately the same code structure but one of them changed the variable's names, what a genius!

While struggling as a beginner is normal, copying solutions defeats the purpose of competitive programming.
