On January 22, 2024, I received an email regarding allegations of plagiarism concerning my submissions. I want to emphasize that I have not engaged in any form of cheating or plagiarism.

Upon receiving the notification, I promptly responded within a few hours, as per the instructions provided, expressing my innocence and willingness to cooperate fully in resolving the issue. Despite my immediate response and subsequent follow-up emails, I have yet to receive any acknowledgment or resolution regarding my case.

It has been distressing to witness a significant decrease of 275 points in my rating, especially knowing that I am innocent of the allegations presented against me. I have been an active and dedicated member of the CodeChef community, and it is disheartening to see my efforts tarnished by an unjustified penalty.

I kindly request a thorough review of my case and the evidence provided therein. I am more than willing to provide any additional information or clarification required to demonstrate my integrity and commitment to fair play.

Moreover, I urge you to expedite the process of resolving this matter and restoring my rating to its rightful position. The prolonged delay in addressing this issue has not only affected my standing within the community but has also caused undue stress and frustration.

I trust in CodeChef’s commitment to maintaining fairness and transparency in its operations. As such, I am hopeful that my case will be given the attention it deserves, and the necessary steps will be taken to rectify the situation promptly.

please @admin take action on this I have written 3 mails to help@codechef.com but they have not taken any action

Sincerely,

Hey Priyam,

Sincere apologies for missing the previous emails.

We will review your solutions at first week of March.

I did not get any reply or update on the reports that I made through the threads above, against players allegedly involved in cheating in the Starters 118 contest :

(1.) Thread 1

(2.) Thread 2

(3.) Thread 3

(4.) Thread 4

I even wrote emails to CodeChef over the same issue containing all the details, but still no reply after one month.

How come starters123 Alice and Bob question (Yet Another Alice Bob Game Practice Coding Problem - CodeChef) be considered for plagiarism check. The solution for this question is pretty simple and only consists of just 3 if-else condition check. There is a high chance that my code will be exactly same with other users also. And most importantly this question cant be solved in any other method namely dp. So in my opinion this type of question which have only one simple solution shouldnt be considered for plagiarism check.
Here is my code
include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int t;
cin>>t;
while(t–)
{
int n,a,b;
cin>>n>>a>>b;
if(a>b)
{
cout<<“Alice”<<endl;
}
else if(a==b)
{
if (n%(a+1)!=0)
cout<<“Alice”<<endl;
else
cout<<“Bob”<<endl;
}
else
{
if(n<=a)
cout<<“Alice”<<endl;
else
cout<<“Bob”<<endl;
}
}
// your code goes here

}
So i hope that I would get rid of the plagiarism check and my code will be accepted(I recieved an email saying that i have cheated)
Here are few codes that the system found similar with mine
1.
include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int t;
cin>>t;
while(t–)
{
int n,a,b;
cin>>n>>a>>b;
if(a>b)
{
cout<<“Alice”<<endl;
}
else if(a==b)
{
if (n%(a+1)!=0)
cout<<“Alice”<<endl;
else
cout<<“Bob”<<endl;
}
else
{
if(n<=a)
cout<<“Alice”<<endl;
else
cout<<“Bob”<<endl;
}
}
// your code goes here

}
2.
include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
// your code goes here
int t;
cin>>t;
while(t–){
int n,a,b;
cin>>n>>a>>b;

 if(a>b){
     cout<<"Alice"<<endl;
 }
 else if( a==b){
      
      if(n%(b+1)==0){
           cout<<"Bob"<<endl;
      }else{
            cout<<"Alice"<<endl;
      }
     
 }
 else {
     
      if(n<=a){
           cout<<"Alice"<<endl;
      }else{
    
           cout<<"Bob"<<endl;
           
      }
     
     
     
 }

}

}
There is simply no way for my solution and their solutions to be different. So I demad myself declared not guilty of cheating
