Wrongly Caught in plagiarism

general
1

Respected @admin,i just recieved an email telling that i was caught under plagiarism in FEB18 long challenge .

It was for the 10th sum,where i took the code from hackerrank as it was asked in some past contest of hackerrank.However i did mention it in my code the link of that website.I made 2 submissions the first in which i forgot to write the reference,however i immediately made the 2nd submission with reference written on top.

Submission page(u can see the timings of submission):

First submission:
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/17298007

Second submission(with reference written on top):
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/17298093

I really love codechef and like to help the community ,please be fair with me and restore the ratings.

(And yeah the other person (who’s code matched with me) is from allahbad ,there’s no way i’ll know him)

(I had email but didn’t got any reply)

Thank you!!

As per my experience if you give a feedback of wrongly being caught in plagiarism, the ratings will be restored. Took some time in my case as well but they make sure that ratings are restored.

Exactly the same thing happened with me. In my first AC submission I forgot to give the reference link, then I immediately made the second submission with the reference link on top. Also quite surprisingly the mail I received says my code matches with @vivek_1998299 's aforementioned code.
Hope that everything will be sorted out soon. :slight_smile:

Same thing has happened to me too. I never used any online IDE and except the FAST IO Template every single line of my code doesn’t match with this person still I have failed MOSS Test. It has 1 month since I mailed them but haven’t received any reply from them. I am pretty sure other person has also not copied my code because his logic seems to be pretty different from mine. Other person with whom my code matched is like from a different college and city.

If something is wrong here please tell else I would like to request to please restore my submissions and rank.

Is this a plagariasm?

Since you gave the link, its not. If she doesnt reply, ping me and I will check the status with her.

Sigh of relief.Thank you so much mate!!!

I also used the same code, but I pasted the link of the editorial(having the code) instead. I think that would have been better.

probably if u take any two submission for 50 pts there is a very high probability that they will match.

Exactly, most of the 50 pts submissions used that editorial code only.

I already did that hours ago before you said :stuck_out_tongue: . Once she is done with her verification and made the decision, she will reply to you guys either via mail or here.
