It’s Impossible cause’ not everyone can solve every question fast every now and then, the only option is to focus on solving more question, but the problem here is codechef sucks from 3rd question in Div 2, what’s the point when only 100 people are able to solve 3rd question, and the ladder keeps dropping so on.
Codeforeces atleast lets you have some room till D question, here it’s more like fastest to complete second question wins

CC’s checker is better I said , It is able to catch more people I think . The bad thing is that it takes a lot of time .

This is very unfair with those who participated in contests honestly. With such cheaters, those who do hard work will get a lower rank. @admin please look into the issue and take action to maintain the credibility of Codechef.
Everyone wants that their hard work should pay off.

Hello CC community, and @admin as today June lunchtime is there, please make sure that this time cheating should not be there, do whatever you want but please do something , in the last cookoff many solutions are the same, in the last 2 CF many solutions are same, and CC has only 2 short contest and next short will be cook off , so see this cheating issue as soon as possible.

Cheating has become the birth right of some coders in codechef community. They will never give this up ,preventing 4 star coders like us from reaching 5 star. So, lets just leave this shitty platform!

I, personally feel like in yesterday’s June-Cook off, no more than 400 participants could’ve solved the problem B (div 2) by themselves! But surprisingly it had been solved by 1800 participants!
Everyone knows what’s happening here these days!
I wanted to ask @admin when are they planning to bring MOSS checker for codechef contests? (few months ago @admin said in a few months, still waiting)
All limits have been crossed already!
The good coders are falling in the leaderboard, and Cheaters now will be able to write, fancy, 4 star coder on their resume!
And some of them just want to watch the world burn!
Is there any hope for us, here, anymore?

cheaters and poor test cases both are common problems
for example Yestarday just for fun I used a “jugaad” solution and well it worked
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/47977518
this solution shouldn’t even work because for a test case like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
answer should be 7 but it gives 14 then also got AC.

It’s kind of a bold Claim, but just give it a shot!
In the standings (div2, div3), Open any College of your choice, look at the submissions in the 1st page, you’ll find atleast 2 accounts with the same solution. (Maybe a little variable and order change)
Yeah, that’s how it is for my college too

Everyone should try Leetcode (no promotions)
I am sharing my experience, I participated in Weekly 246 and when the contest ended my rank was 2300!
Today they announced the results and my rank is 1300!
A whole 1000 rank got increased with their evaluation!
Their MOSS checker is just amazing, they even encourage users to report submissions for cheating! And also heavy penalty if you found in cheating!
I think Codechef should learn from them! @admin
Thats why companies dont see codechef rating but they also test your skills in interviews
Just Practice hard and try to solve many many problems. I don’t think its gonna stop soon. Till Learn and practice as many topics as you can.
This is the only way you can beat cheaters.
Don’t Worry they can’t cheat the screening tests which happens during placements, no one can cheat there as you are in college under supervision
