So after long challenges cheating here we have a new format of cheating introduced by @ameya @starkk @maoni on CodeChef. Congrats to all the founder members :wink:

After clarification from our lovely @ameya13, let move to revealing of codes of our TOP 3 contestants.
Let us go directly to last question:
Pencryption Password

@mayur2305 : CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone

@starkk99 CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone

@maoni CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone

It is clearly visible that these three submissions are exact same, if you ignore the define and include statements. These Guys even didn’t tried to change the variable names. See honesty of these guys :joy: :joy:.
And my special thanks to @marksman2 for giving us this great thread. I really enjoyed reading it. Also @galencolin made this thread more reachable by taking interest in this matter.

Thanks for the detailed report :slight_smile:

At least one problem is copied: CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone = Problem - 29B - Codeforces. Hence all problems have been removed from the Practice section.

ameya13, mayur2305, starkk99, alooooo_lelo, and maoni have been permanently banned from CodeChef. This incident will be conveyed to the relevant college authorities for them to take action as they see fit.
There will also be a ban on any users from that institute conducting contests on our platform for some period of time.

I don’t think punishing the institute is a good idea what if they used the wrong institute name in there profile. Also I don’t think what they did should have impact on any other user, I mean few idiots do not represent the whole institute.
Just my thoughts, feel free to disagree with me… :crossed_fingers:

Hey @admin, I don’t think banning the college for hosting the contests is correct here. The college has hosted great contests in the past and don’t do this because of some idiots cheating.

Exactly! No one in our college even knew that someone is hosting any contest on Codechef. No one even know who these guys are!

Thanks for informing @marksman2. It is good to know.
@admin, please check if you can find out if contest Contest Page | CodeChef is also a fraud.

We found a copied problem in that future contest as well. The organizer has been perma banned, and the contest cancelled.

@admin please look into this as well. The scam may be much bigger than initially thought. I see a 6 star and 2 5-star there as well.

Of course we will ensure that a wrong institute is not penalized. We will decide the exact punishment after talking with the college authorities.
