False accusation of cheating -Codeforces Round #835 (Div. 4)-
By silvermax, history, 17 months ago, In English

Hello. I've got a message saying: Your solution 181963515 for the problem 1760E - Binary Inversions significantly coincides with solutions silvermax/181963515, verma14ayush/181989708.

It's normal that the solutions are somehow alike since it's the simplest/most naive approach for the problem. and you can see that I solved the problem 30 minutes before him while he was still getting wrong answers in those 30 minutes, so I couldn't have even given him my solution.

you can also check our submissions for the other problems, they aren't even remotely close. he didn't even solve problem D, and I solved it. It just doesn't make sense that we were cooperating in any way.

I've participated in 24 rounds, and I've a clean record. so please review this decision.

MikeMirzayanov.

Thanks.

UpVoted. I hope your ratings are back. I wonder why are there False Positives like this and some obvious obfuscators and cheaters like Mhmd_Bakr whose previous account had been already banned due to cheating AlgoTurtle, continue gain fake ratings being not caught despite cheating? You can find similar obfuscation style in both accounts and it is obvious since he adds huge number of comments and strange code with color.white(), color.cyan() , unnecessary STLs.

It is really unfortunate that such a hard-worker like you gets unfairly skipped and real cheaters pass without being skipped, see that obvious obfuscation last global round 182697157

      But he had much better luck than you. He got His C's ONLY skipped in the last 2 rounds, but you had all your submissions skipped :-(
