This scared me man, like REALLY scared me

This is very shameful. Such incidents should not happen again. And such colleges should be banned from hosting the contest on codechef or any other websites. This can be verified from my solution which requires “multiple-lines-of-code” => solution :stuck_out_tongue:
@admin

There should be an admin from codechef who can avoid these type of situations in the contests by checking some basic requirement of conducting contests. Otherwise, these type of contest may decrease ERP of codechef.
