Yet another cheater in CF R 1118

Revision en3, by Radson, 2026-09-02 10:29:42

Hello Codeforces! (this is how they write CF blog intros, right?)

I'm not really into catching cheaters in CF, I mostly prefer focusing solely on myself, but this participant (who ranked #1 in Iran btw) caught my eye

Her handle is MinaNiazizadeh

I don't know her personally, but Mina Niazizadeh sounds a lot like a Persian full name, so I'm assuming her name is Mina

Her first rated contest was Codeforces Round 1118 (Div.2), and here's some submission patterns:

  • WA1 spams on literally every problem

  • 388783769 : if __name__ == "__main__" is sus

Compilation errors on C:

  • 388815219 : Python submitted as C++ (not direct evidence of cheating)

  • 388828902 : Submitted with the three backticks LLMs use to format code blocks

I also saw a WA1 on C (388830966) after AC for some reason

She also participated in the recent ICPC challenge, but I saw no evidence of cheating there

So that's what I saw. MikeMirzayanov KAN please take a look at this matter
