Wrongly accused of plagiarism in Starters 136B

sbolt · June 6, 2024, 6:08pm

I received a mail on June 1 stating that my submission
was found to be similar to another user’s submission in Starters 136B “My First Geometry Problem”. I replied back the next day, but I haven’t received a response from CodeChef yet. My rating has also been dropped. I would like to request a manual review of this, since the code for this problem is short and natural. For example, all of the below submissions use the same obvious approach as me:

Same brother even I am wrongly accused of plagiarism, this is a easy question and there are very High chances that you codes can match ,still they just drop your rating and accuse you of plagiarism and cheating and not the least give that annoying mark

@emperor100 I am writing to clarify that I have not engaged in cheating during CodeChef Starter 139. Despite this, I was flagged for plagiarism and have not received any mail from CodeChef.
