Pls help me here… SUCCESSFUL PLAGIARISM


Why would I cheat in some contest, and still solve Zero problems !!! why would I make 16 submissions when I had copied a code !!!

THIS GROUP IS GIVING SOLUTIONS OF ONGOING CONSTESTS WHICH ARE HELD ON CODECHEF AS WELL AS CODEFORCES…PLEASE REPORT THIS AND REMOVE THIS CHANNEL

If you want to report a Youtube channel, or Telegram group, or something similar which is publishing solutions during a contest, please fill this form.

bruh wtf XD

now a day i am always skeptical of giving contest in cc, it been a downward trend for me :rofl:

You will see such rampant cheating rarely on any platform than codechef. In today’s Starters 76 div 2 contest everything was going well like it is supposed to be. Then all of sudden in last 40 mins people started bombarding the problem E (Expected Values), success rate went from 8% to 60% submission went from 15 to 160. People started submitting right answer in herd.

So, my question to admin is are you also involved in this? What do you get by taking 3 hours of contest? Just so that enough cheaters can get the leaked solution.

Secondly, your rating system is crooked, Some people are sitting in top 50 AIR, that shouldn’t be even around 2000, why their rating didn’t decreased? While ours did.

Hereby, I quit codechef until you change your scammy format.

So, admins instead of deleting my posts. Can you reply to me that only with same page of submission I found 4 similar solution, they just changed variables name

  1. CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
  2. CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
  3. CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
  4. CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone
    5.CodeChef: Practical coding for everyone

This is just one page of checking among many wrong submissions, dumb people were copy pasting same code and were getting compilation error.

Atleast 70% to 80% of people cheated in this problem.

You can manually check them, there aren’t many submissions except of the cheaters

:thinking:

Permanently banned.

After removing cheaters will the rating and rank will be updated or not? I have not seen any change in rating from the past few contests once it has been assigned remains as it is.

Subject: Appeal of Penalty

Dear CodeChef Team,

I am writing to appeal the penalty I received on Feb 18, 2023 for reason for i caught for plagiarism in START77D. I believe that I have been wrongly penalized as I have not knowingly or unknowingly violated any of the policies outlined in the CodeChef Code of Conduct, FAQ, or the blog post on the cheating saga.

I have thoroughly reviewed the guidelines and policies and am confident that I have not violated any of them. I would appreciate it if you could review my case again and reconsider the penalty.

If there is any specific information or evidence that I need to provide to support my appeal, please let me know. I will be happy to provide it at the earliest.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Akash2024

Is this being implemented for recent contests?

Hopefully the increase in submission count from 100 in 2nd hour to 2000 in last hour will become less frequent
