I recently received an email stating that my solution for Starters 172 (Rated) was found to be similar to another submission and has been disqualified due to plagiarism. I would like to sincerely appeal this decision as I have not engaged in any form of cheating or code sharing.
The details of my submission are as follows:
- **Username: nagarjun2710
- Contest: Starters 172 (Rated)
I want to clarify that my solution was entirely written by me, and I did not share my code with anyone. If there is any resemblance to another user’s solution, it is purely coincidental. It is possible that we followed a similar approach due to commonly used techniques in competitive programming.
I kindly request you to review my case and reconsider the penalty imposed on my account. If any further clarification or proof is required, I am happy to provide it. I truly value the integrity of CodeChef’s platform and have always participated with fairness.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to receive a positive response.
