Ab aayega na mja Bhidu

Two of them copied the same code of CHEFNSWAP and third one was bit smart and have done the same code but on different language.
They think that stars on their profile matters, Lol!
All linked submission should get penalised and I want the names to be public so that they will never cheat in future.
Iā€™m not able to tag correctly, donā€™t know whatā€™s the problem, if anyone can tag them please do it so that theyā€™ll never cheat againā€¦ anyway these are the handles:-

I prefer the version with macros.They use a program maybe, to do this.
It was simply awesome. Though he/she may have copied , It was a crazy innovative idea :slightly_smiling_face: . may the force be with them.

I was just going through submissions of this lunchtime challenge and I found these solutions 100% plagiarized there all other submissions are also seems to be plagiarism I request @admin to do something right regarding same. I also found something fishy in this profileā€™s submissions @krunal9220 this personā€™s other submissions also seem to be plagiarized.

@vijju123 @admin his type of 5* coder setting wrong examples in cp community please take right steps against him ASAP.

if any action will be taken that would be appreciated and welfare for codechef community
what type of 5*/6* coder example these type of silly people are setting for the community.
@vijju123

Well, It was just a basic brute-force approach that everyone thinks of when they see sub-sequence and N<=16 in sub-task. And you will definitely find similar submissions to this whomever trying to get only those 20 points during contest.

@krunal9220 hey I donā€™t think so and couldnā€™t agreed less and whatever step needed to be taken we have taken so donā€™t worry this is not about only this submission .and those like you got in this reply most probably your friend and your depended and donā€™t bluff regarding bruteforce .all you done is change variable name and using silly template and all .all step needed that was required it already TAKEN so BE CHILL.

@krunal9220 if you do caught in cheating simply accept it but still you are hiding it .and just are just bluffing here .donā€™t compelled me to show all of your submission history to all this community. donā€™t messed with people if you are cheater also you have caught many times
in plagiarism it is shown by your graph and also got to know you has been caught in plagiarism after feb long challenge but its not updated i graph bcz appeal phase is still going on

its not ur mistake its mistake by the person who is providing solutions to you .but i will make sure they also regret it

people like you ruining code chef and cp culture.DA

if you not gonna accept it we will share all plagiarized submission of you and ur friend here

Are plag checking going on for previous contests?

They are cheating in every contest

@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 havenā€™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

ā€œIndian touristā€™sā€ - 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.

ā€˜Indian Tourist 1ā€™ has multiple accounts-

I really donā€™t get , whatā€™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.

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 havenā€™t mentioned the site address, So will this be marked for plagiarism too?

@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 itā€™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 ā€¦ Please consider this request , the genuine users have no issue with this ( I hope so) .

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