Reevaluation of plagiarism flag

Dear CodeChef Support Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I am writing to respectfully request a re-evaluation of a plagiarism flag that has been applied to my submission.

My details are as follows:
• CodeChef Username: soniasharma26
• Contest Name: Starters224
• Date of Contest: 4-2-2026
• Problem Code(s):maxminmex

I would like to sincerely state that the submitted solution was written entirely by me without copying from any external source or participant. After carefully checking my solution, I found that only the core logic might appear similar, which can happen because many participants use common approaches or standard algorithms to solve the same problem. However, the code structure, implementation style, and variable names in my submission are completely different and written independently by me.

I kindly request you to review my submission once again. I am committed to following CodeChef’s fair play policy and maintaining integrity in all contests.

Please let me know if any further clarification or information is required from my side.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Sonia Sharma
