System sent me the message that my solution 191903840 for 1719B coincides with Bilal04/191878626.

Codeforces Round #849(DIV 4) Well ,I would like to say that it was a mere coincidence .

1.This problem was based on a simple approach and it is 100% possible that two non-related people can come up with the same pattern of code. 2.Giving the name 's' to a string is very common . 3.Also, the name of other variables are different. 4.Setting a 'flag' to see how we came out of the loop is a common concept practiced by many coders. 5.Using 'break' to come out of the loop when your condition is matched is very general. 6.Also, the difference in submission time is almost 15 minutes.If I would have to copy the code then I would have done it so quickly by changing names of variables. Why would I take so long to think of the solution and code it down. 7.As I was only able to solve 3 questions.I would have copied other two solutions also,as Bilal04 had solved them also.

Lastly, I want to add that this was a pure misunderstanding and should be revised as I am purely innocent in this case.Thanks for reading it .Looking forward for your action.

        Sorry , I am a new user so I was not aware of how to add image to blog.Actually It is my first blog.I solved problem A,B,C of codeforces round #849 but I was not rated for it and received this message. You can see in my submissions that those problems are marked skipped.

          Anyways its ok. Idk why I asked u to post screenshot cos its obvious u didn't cheat. Many people got caught with the plagiarism checker when they didn't actually plagiarise for question B. Hope ur submission gets accepted!

    Codeforces seriously needs to revise its plagiarism checking standards.
