once again thank you so much

sumitkoomar · May 22, 2021, 9:42pm

yes seriously on last day at 12 pm my rank was around
700 and at the end to contest 3 hours later my rank was 1900 seriously
this is rediculuos.

misrapk · June 1, 2021, 7:44pm

There are plenty of youtube channels which are showing full code solution. Many telegram channels are also there which are helping the new coders to get rank. But they don’t think that this will not be going to help them in CP or during interviews.
Just getting stars is not everything.

saif07ahmed · November 4, 2021, 10:41am

most of these clowns don’t attempt short contests, coz they know they’ll end up submitting 1-2 questions lol.

Hi Community
I’m very sorry to have cheated, I realise that it’s a very grave offence. Still I beg you to accept my sincere apologies and forgive me. It took me a lot of mental power to write this post but I accept the truth that I have cheated and assure everyone that this will not be repeated.
If admin wants to drop my ratings, he may as I have done a mistake, no a blunder, and I must be penalized for it.

Once again, I’m very sorry ):
Please forgive me

soumit_915 · November 13, 2021, 6:45am

Hi @admin , when will the plagiarism results be declared for Codechef Snackdown Round-1A and the scoreboard be finalized? Any updates?

admin · November 13, 2021, 8:09am

Before Pre-Elim

northpole · November 17, 2021, 5:59pm

During the Starters 17 contest , these users copied all the 5 questions and managed to get the ranks under 500 at the very last moment. I’ve mentioned their solutions of Partion It problem. They didn’t even bother to change the variable names. Such kind of miserable people should get permanently banned from all online platforms, who for the sake of impressing an interviewer somehow, pollute this amazing sport.

Introducing top competitive programmers of my college.
Currently not on my pc otherwise introduced more

northpole · November 17, 2021, 6:41pm

Its the exact same solution, means all the solutions were copied from some telegram channel/group. Let’s see if these assholes get banned this time.

yaminote · November 17, 2021, 6:54pm

I was assuming short contests won’t have people cheating but sadly its happening. There was a sudden surge in number of people who solved 5th problem. Although that is how it is and we can do nothing anymore what’s sad is that codechef rating does not remain credible anymore.

northpole · November 17, 2021, 7:01pm

Its very unfortunate that these people go scot-free, but its our responsibility to call out these assholes so that, at least, they know that their cheating doesn’t go unnoticed.

bishen28 · November 17, 2021, 7:58pm

@admin
please reduce the time of the contest to 2Hour

kartikey_v · November 17, 2021, 8:50pm

Same copied code for the question BININV, one is of the same user which you have posted.
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/53979311
https://www.codechef.com/viewsolution/53961713

Same as for problem STRADJ, exact same code just added a few whitespaces or removed some header files.
