I hope you are doing well. I recently participated in Starters 179 (Rated), and I noticed that my submission has been flagged for plagiarism. I want to sincerely assure you that I wrote the code independently and did not copy it from any external sources or share my solution with anyone.
I understand the importance of maintaining the integrity of competitive programming, and I highly respect CodeChef’s policies. However, I believe this might be a false flag, possibly due to the use of common programming techniques or standard approaches to the problem. If there are any similarities with other submissions, I would appreciate the opportunity to clarify and provide any necessary explanations.
I kindly request a manual review of my submission to reconsider the plagiarism flag. If needed, I am happy to provide drafts or intermediate versions of my solution to demonstrate my independent work.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.
Hello, we manually checked your submissions again and we came to the conclusion that it’s not a coincidence and it’s a clear cheating.
