I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to appeal against a plagiarism accusation I received during the CodeChef Starter 164 contest. I believe this accusation is unfounded and would like to provide some context to support my case.
The name of the question was “Swap and Flip”
Given the simplicity and common nature of the problem, it is highly likely that multiple participants could arrive at similar solutions independently. I have been an active participant on CodeChef, with a history of thousands of practice problems and no prior incidents of cheating. I am confident in my integrity and commitment to fair competition.
I kindly request a review of my case and the removal of the plagiarism mark from my account. I am more than willing to provide any additional information or clarification needed to resolve this matter.
I hope you can assist me with an ongoing issue regarding a false plagiarism flag I received during the STARTERS 164C contest. Upon manual review, it was confirmed to be a false positive.
Details of the Issue:
Contest Name: STARTERS 164C
CodeChef Username: laksh_413
Problem Codes Involved: SWAP & FLIP
Date of Contest: 11-12-2024
Previous Response: CodeChef support confirmed it was a false positive upon manual review and promised a resolution within a week.
However, it has been almost a month, and the changes have not been reverted as promised. This delay has significantly impacted my ability to participate in Div 3 contests, and I am feeling quite disappointed by the lack of follow-up and resolution. I have also tried reaching out via Gmail several times but have not received a response.
I would greatly appreciate it if the CodeChef team could provide an update on when the changes will be reverted and the issue fully resolved.
