PLAGIARISM
Are the organizers even from IIT Bombay ?
Cause this was never expected, at least not from IITB.
Directly same questions should not be asked in contests.
IIT Bombay! Not expected from you guys!
IIT Bombay ! U should have taken some time to prepare good questions instead of copy pasting !!
These things should be prevented so as to avoid cheating.
even the sample test cases are the same
I have seen at most one repeated question but here is the mother of all plagiarism .
Questions should be made with little modification but not exactly the same
Very disappointed to see @meooow supporting cheating , he submitted his first 5 solutions within 5-7 minutes, very disappointing to see a moderator of codechef forum supporting this without reporting such act!
P.S- he cannot solve 5 questions in 5 minutes
wanted to up vote this post, but cannot , but I support IITB should be banned from code chef.
codeforces solutions should have been made not visible during this contest I think
@spp____ not possible to do so , and why bothering to do so , how can you copy questions? Codechef rules clearly states that it all its contests needs to have genuine questions and not copied when you apply for hosting an event.
@striverlearner of course I cannot solve problems of this difficulty this fast, if at all. At first I was wondering the contest is a joke
Yes, it is not allowed to have problems from other contests in open contests on Codechef. But there’s nothing I can do about that. The contest should rightly be cancelled.
However, as a participant I have not broken any rules. I have used publicly available code and provided due attribution. If it’s not cancelled, well INR 1,00,000 prize pool for a Google search contest is not something you see everyday
yes , but being a moderator at code chef you should have informed code chef about this at that moment, and i really don’t think they are going to give any prize money , as the cheating has been exposed.
p.s- do not have enough karma to comment on the same thread
Certainly disappointing. Also questions need to be verified before uploading. Not expected from IIT Bombay!
I demand admin to scrap this contest off as soon as possible , I wonder a copyright case is on the way against them.
swetankmodi rank 5th in that ranklist , being such high rated people at code chef , we expect you to be honest and report this to code chef , every time prize money is not what you need , honesty should be there.
This is really disappointing
what the F???
And i quote - "Plagiarism will be checked. All those failing to pass the plagiarism test will be denied prizes."
