I can support You as well.

I also heard from my students that all submissions was available to see by anyone at fist few hours when tie-breaker problem appear.

I’m sure that only other one (copy paste gay) will be disqualified!

Im a little lost, what had happened ? Could he see only your solution or everyone’s ? Was this for all the problems ? :open_mouth:

Could we have a word from CodeChef as to what this bug was and how they fixed it. Also will this affect the ratings ?

Hi all,

The issue was caused due to my mistake. Users told me about it in the very first day when the challenge problem was added and it was corrected that day. At that point of time, there were only 4-6 solutions accepted mostly trivial (first attempt) solutions. So, I think it did not affect much the overall ranking much. I am really sorry for the trouble caused. Please let us know how we can help you recover if you are affected by the situation.

Happened with me once …rating dropped heavily had to make a fresh start … codechef people seemed not so understanding …the guy didn’t even delete my comments from the code

Some user copied my code, and my ratings are now dropped to so low. Admin please resume my ratings as I have submitted my code before that guy.
