Are plag checking going on for previous contests?

They are cheating in every contest

neel1997 · October 7, 2020, 11:39pm

@admin @vijju123 @tempt919 @l_returns @yashrajkakkad I recently got aware of this and this is utter bull crap! The account being talked about in the April Challenge 2019 case is mine. How has no action been taken against him/her or his account disabled?
I have been emailing the codechef team as well about this issue since a month but still haven’t received any response from them about it.
It is highly unethical and sets a bad precedent on codechef that this can happen so easily and openly. I am awaiting an update and have appealed for reverting my account back to how it was. But this is extremely vile!

October Long challenge : Plagiarism in Long Challenge

sksama · October 12, 2020, 12:41pm

“Indian tourist’s” - I hope its just a coincidence

As This Thread was closed, same thing here

Please prove me wrong
There was a forum discussion where people were talking about last hour plagiarism of long challenge.

The submissions which were being talked about, i did a little analysis, and it lead me to one place
thats this - https://www.codechef.com/rankings/OCT20B?filterBy=Institution%3DK%20L%20University&order=asc&sortBy=rank

Same pattern could be found here- https://www.hackerearth.com/challenges/competitive/september-circuits-20/leaderboard/page/8/

The names (not username) of students are their roll numbers. Lets assume college promotes CP and monitors and motivates student.

Leave students out, check out the professors account, all have been done in last 1 hour.
But Let assume , since they are professors they have big brains and can pull this of. But still you should have a look.

‘Indian Tourist 1’ has multiple accounts-

Just wanted to know your views.

waltzer47 · October 12, 2020, 12:49pm

so the rating have been updated and my rank was still the same. i was hoping it would get better when the cheaters were banned.

phoenixsoul · October 12, 2020, 1:05pm

@its_ravi
please review his profile he has very mysterious behavior he submits in last hour of each long challenge and his code template changes in every long challenge

abhishekray323 · October 12, 2020, 1:05pm

I really don’t get , what’s wrong with codechef:

Long challenges with mass cheating.
Rank publishing before catching plagiarism .
Unbalanced short contests for DIV2.

What do you want to do , there are already very few students who want to do competitive programming seriously in India, and codechef wants to demotivate them too.

Even after 10+ year of operating this site, some basic issues are not being handled properly.

paliya_64 · October 12, 2020, 1:45pm

This is regarding attributes mentioning, I referred to a code on minimum spanning tree , and also gave attributes as comments in my code as topic name and website name but I haven’t mentioned the site address, So will this be marked for plagiarism too?

ssrivastava990 · October 12, 2020, 2:06pm

@admin from our heart please accept one request , please do not make rating changes untill MOSS caught cheaters and updated ranklist either it take 10 or 20 days but please do not update , this is too much , sometimes it’s really frustrating and sad because users just cheat and then show off like they did very well and so much of hard work blah blah blah … Please consider this request , the genuine users have no issue with this ( I hope so) .

admin · October 12, 2020, 3:24pm

Sorry, that’s just not feasible, as the MOSS process, even in the best case scenario takes many weeks to complete.

ssrivastava990 · October 12, 2020, 3:28pm

Then do something else please because if this type of thing is going on , very bad for community , also one suggestion separate long ratings with total combined rating , and increase at least 2 short contest more .

Also , on each question if possible please write on top / bottom in RED color that CC takes very serious actions against those who cheat , at least 30 to 40% cheating will be less.

anon70677113 · October 12, 2020, 3:34pm

I don’t understand why people are so much obessed with the rating, & also with the cheaters. Those who are cheating they are actually harming themself. Just leave them sooner or later they will understand. Codechef need to take care of lots of thing instead of just caring for cheaters.

ashish_kaur · October 12, 2020, 3:39pm

So atlast you have understood after plagiarism 6 times.

anon70677113 · October 12, 2020, 3:40pm

Ofc yes.

its_ravi · October 12, 2020, 5:10pm

Bruh its not only me many people out here uses multi accounts . I’m just smurfing on other one

avi_9314 · October 12, 2020, 5:43pm

i am not a big fan of reporting accounts for plag

but today i saw something weird

this guy

posted on linkedln about his great achievement during the contest but on seeing his solutions one can easily find that they all those "copied " solution(modified very smartly) which we have seen throughout the day …it gets more weird when i came to find that this guy is not even from IIT bombay he is just from college in UP… this is quite stupid of people to boast about themselves like this on social media

shammi22 · October 13, 2020, 12:50pm

These are few of the many solutions for ADDSQURE in OCT Long Challenge 2020, that were submitted mere minutes before the end of the contest i.e. 3 P.M. on 12th of October.

All of them, many of them 3 stars and 4 stars coders, have submitted the exact same code!

It’s really disappointing that everyone’s running behind ratings when all of it is about learning.

veryfewac · October 14, 2020, 5:31am

all these students are from my college IIT BHU and have copied the exact same code of ADDINGSQUARE from some unknown source.
here is their submission link:
