Well, thanks for this @admin I really wanted to know why my solution failed during the contest but on codeforces the same WA solution passes all test cases and gets an AC. Still wondering how is this possible
That code is the code of the top ranked user in the CF contest from where this problem was copied. So itās probably the case that everyone copied from there. No penalties for users apart from the ones who have colluded with the organizer.
The students didnāt contact the college authorities before hosting the contest. It was held by a individual group. This should not be linked with the college name.
The contest was hosted individually by @ameya13 and others were involved in cheating, but college authorities were totally unaware of this. Also, as @boom786 and @buzz_95 mentioned, some idiots do not represent the whole college. So, banning the college is not a righteous decision.
We are well aware of what we are doing, and we have this process for a reason. Yes, your point is valid, and is something we are very conscious of. No further public discussions on this.
Maybe you should read the entire Guidelines before hosting a contest in that case. I donāt see why this should be mentioned in Sign Up, as all users do not host contests.
