Dear MikeMirzayanov , Today I received a mail saying the submission of Problem A and B coincides with a lot of many participants.
I don't know what they all submitted. I believe problem A was pretty straightforward, I saw the same solution in almost 90-95 % of participants after the Contest.
Talking about problem B, I did it by myself only. First I did it by map ,but got WA on Testcase 2 . After thinking a lot only solution was left in my mind was Brute Force for me which took a lot of time (for me).
I didn't involve in any unfair practice. I'm saying this because I have been wrongly penalized before also. I was new at this platform so didn't know how to appeal. But this time it's 2nd time that I have been penalized after giving fair competition also.
My 1st Solution for B (which got WA on TC-2 ) : ![ ](https://codeforces.me/d5c48f/2021-07-23 (2).png)
After devoting a lot of time I finally came up with a brute force solution which got AC:
I can say that this time also I didn't cheat and gave fair competition.
I hope you take the necessary steps regarding this and overturn the penalty.
Thank you to devote your time to read this blog
