Hello Codeforces Team,↵
↵
I received a plagiarism notification for my submission for problem 2112B in Educational Codeforces Round 180 (Rated for Div. 2), citing similarity with another user's submission.↵
↵
All my submissions from A to D were skipped.↵
↵
My code: https://codeforces.me/contest/2112/submission/325720028↵
Other code: https://codeforces.me/contest/2112/submission/325731757↵
↵
The problem was very simple and straightforward, with a fixed structure leading to only three possible outputs: 0, 1 or -1, based entirely on a few if-else conditions (I solved it 12 minutes into the contest). Given the deterministic logic and limited number of valid approaches, there is a high probability of multiple users arriving at very similar code independently.↵
↵
I would like to clarify that I did not (and have never) cheat or share my code. I wrote my solution independently using VS Code on my personal computer, without using any public compilers, shared environments, or collaboration.↵
↵
Thank you for your time and understanding.↵

@MikeMirzayanov @Vladosiya @BledDest — I would be very grateful if you could take a look or offer any guidance on this issue.
