Plagiarism in FEB'20 Lunchtime

Take a look at this: https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/29975530

and then this: https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/29977889

I don’t know how these two people could write exactly the same code with same variable names and spacing styles, with the only exception being a small change in the name of the function. It looks plagiarized to me.

There can be a high possibility that both user handles is been used by the same person or they might be knowing each other or at the last anyone of them copied it from the online ide like ideone

Plagiarism is quite common these days and people keep discovering ways to fool the MOSS (Though, I doubt MOSS is used).

I would recommend everybody (other than CodeChef people) to just ignore these people and just focus on your own journey. While they can beat you today, but not when you get two or three steps ahead of them. :slight_smile:
