Hey, @yash_chandnani, you might want to see my topic
I think one of the problems may be wrong? (Either that or I’m totally misunderstanding something.)

Unfortunately, one of the edge cases in CHEFPART was handled wrongly in the official solution. This has been fixed, all non-AC solutions rejudged, and we will recalculate the ratings for the 2 users who have been affected by this. Apologies for the mistake.
