Two of them are from same college, so they might have copied each other’s solution. Other two might have copied the code from ideone.

Why even bother ,I mean they will surely get caught by MOSS if they plagiarized and face the consequences so I don’t think that it will anyway have any affect on rest of the contestants

Almost copied part from my other answer :

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:

You gotta trust the process…

But it is not a Coincidence to have almost same answer of some simple problem in the contest.

It can be. There are lakhs of people in the world who do coding. Its just like the coincidence of two people having a similar full name. Many a times it happens like this, many a times people cheat too. You gotta trust the MOSS process as @cpaddict stated. Now please don’t say that there is no person in the world whose name matches with yours(first name, middle name(if any) and surname too). If you do believe that no person with that name(except you) exists, I am very sorry but you have some problem.

This is a serious issue. I found three more solution exact copy of above four and there is a 100% chance that more such solutions exist. This level of plagiarism needs some serious action.

Just found that more than 50% of the Python solution are plagiarised. Most of the 100% solutions are exactly same as above.

Report to @admin

No one from MOSS team checks discuss much, they deal with reports over email (to help@codechef.com). So please mail there additionally
