Hello first time i am writing here… just a few min ago i have received a mail that i have caught into plagiarism with 3 other users and got penalty of 275 points…
Giving a short intro of myself I’m 1 yr student persuing btech . I’m currently in my 1st semester… it’s just been 3-4 months that i have started using codechef and reached the rating of 1481… But just few moments back i received a mail of which i have told u above .
Along with mail they have provided me 3 links of other user’s code of which i have been considered doing plagiarism… but i haven’t did it … I swear i haven’t did it…it was a very easy ques and my logic came out to be same with some other users… but what’s my fault in it… i have thought of my own logic acc to ques and compiled my own code with my own hardwork and honesty… … with my hardwork and lots of updowns in contests i had reached 1481 ratings… But penalty of 275 points forr the sin which I hadn’t done will literally kick my confidence downn… I AM sending the links of the users code as well as my code .

The last one is the link to my code…
You guys check these links and tell what’s my
Mistake if my logic coincidently matches with the other users across globe… When I’m doing a ques my job is to solve it using easiest method for best optimisation… And if the logic coincidently matches with other users then is it really my fault???.. Please help me… Penalty of 275 ratings is really painful… i haven’t done any kind of plagiarism
To appeal for incorrectly flagged plagiarism, you need to write an email to help@codechef.com stating why you think you have been wrongly penalized within seven days of receiving the plagiarism notice. Writing it in the discussion forum would not do any good.

I have already sent the mail to that address also since afternoon!.. but haven’t got any reply yet
You need to wait for at least a week because there are a lot of other mails and appeals they need to go through.

I have been plagiarised but i did’t receive any mail regarding it after multiple mails to codechef authority there is no use
Hi @tanish285
We have already reviewed your case. You wont be penalized.
Can anyone help me too I am also being caught for cheating in DIV2 STARTERS 140 A QUE TRICK OR TREAT
I had written the logic and code on my own still for no reason they are accusing me for it even though I have mailed my issue but no response has been made yet

The last link is my code .Please codechef till now I have given all contests with complete honesty now dropping my rating will get my hardwork in vain
Sir can you please help, I was wrongly penalized in STARTERS140B for Make Permutation problem. I also sent mail to help@codechef.com with problem explanation, but i didn’t receive any reply till now.
Sir, please look into my case as well I have been wrongly penalized in CodeChef starters 140C for the Make permutation Question which is the second question in my division as I have written my own logic for the question and I always follow the rules of CodeChef for attending the contest and has never been involved in any kind of plagiarism means. I have already sent a email to help@codechef.com. It will be a great help if consider my request at the earliest. Thank you.
The problem is simple, indeed. But it is not that very simple where 1 user will have a very identical codes with others. Yours are 100% similar after changing variables name. Space, tabs, code structure, are identical.
The solution for my problem was very obvious and it can’t simply be put for plagiarism the solution of other people also contains the same logic which my code contains and you can check my profile as all the solutions I perform after creating a new function all the time and you can review for that.
below are the links I can provide where all people have used the same logic for writing the code
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/1068754981
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/1069241789
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/1069194137
and this last one logic is completely matching with mine so I want a manual review for it as I have never been engaged to any unfair means.
more solutions which have used the same logic are

https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/1069081463
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/1069005183
And much more code is present which has used the same logic as mine as the logic was so clear
Link for my code:- CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
@admin @emperor100 Please consider my request and manually review my code for plagiarism as the question comes under the easy category as well please look into it. Do check my other solutions as well and then only proceed further as it takes a lot of effort to reach here.
I am writing to address the recent false plagiarism accusation concerning my submission in the Starters 146 Division 3 contest for permutation construction problem. I was notified that my solution was flagged for similarity with another user’s submission, specifically linked to the following solutions:
• My solution: (CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone )
• Other solution: (CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone)
I do not know the individual whose solution was flagged alongside mine, and there was no exchange of ideas or code between us. The similarity in our approaches is purely coincidental and likely due to the nature of the problem, which may have led to similar logic and structure in our solutions. I also took care to use unique variable names and code format, further supporting my claim that the code was independently written
This accusation is a major setback for my contest rating, and months of hard work and dedication to improving my skills on CodeChef are now at risk of being undermined
i recently reached 1474 rating but, a pently of 275 points for a mistake which i did not do is big setback to my profile and my motivation
so please i request the codechef team to review my code and remove the false allegation on my account
