Cheating in Codeforces round #263
By dontcheatplease, 10 years ago, In English

As I realized, users Damon and pawky cheated in Codeforces round #263 .

You can read their codes for problem 462D - Appleman and Tree = 461B - Appleman and Tree .They are same ! (codes : 7593867, 7590145)

Also user pawky solved problem C 1 minute after B.This is strange !I think they cheated in this problem too.

I think, both of them should be banned !

Or at least, identical codes should be Skipped.

    Completely Identical codes are skipped.

      When the same user is in question. This doesn't seem such case :)

I don't think pawky cheated, he could have just coded problem B and problem C and did not submit them until 30 minutes. Considering that the first 3 problems could be solved in under 20 minutes, this seems likely.

    And that explains the identical codes how?

      My apologies, I forgot that he also copied someone else's code.

The name of your account (and the fact that it's a new one) is a little weird, though.

    I think its just that he made that account to post this, not wanting his real account to be shown so he wont be in any kind of conflicts, or whatever.

your guess seems to be quite justified because if you notice on their profiles both pawky and Damon are from Tehran in Iran and that too. from same college"Allame Helli 2". So it is quite possible that it's cheating.And honestly this is frustrating as of these days.In DiV-2 only contests some newly registered users take away whole rating and now in Div1+Div2 suddenly another issue has popped up to check everyone at bay.
