Undetected cheating case from India in Codeforces Round #651 (Div. 2)
By braden89, history, 4 years ago, In English

devil_within has surprisingly solved E problem of Codeforces Round #651 (Div. 2) using KOTLIN, although his primary language is C++ only. Just look at his submissions and see yourself that he has more than 240 submissions in C++ language and just 2 in KOTLIN. These is his KOTLIN Submission. 84500251 Looking closely and comparing it with his C++ submissions one can easily see that there's a huge difference of coding style of this submission and his other submissions. I don't see a good enough reason to suddenly switch to a completely different language that too in middle of contest. The only logic I can make from this situation is that he most probably took help from some of his friends who code primarily in KOTLIN. Or he just asked them to code the solution and he copy pasted their solution in KOTLIN.

devil_within do you have any logical argument on why this has happened?

Why are you tagging/accusing the entire country for it?

That's not really proof though.

    Then what could have been the reason for suddenly switching to KOTLIN that too in mid of contest?

      You can ask him that directly,it can be anything, might be cheating but still no need to rush to conclusions.

I don't understand why people in the comments are denying it. To me, it does seem like a case of plagiarism. Although I don't like the fact that you tagged India in this blog.

To think of that you went through the trouble of making a new account to post this is, sad.

    I don't condone cheating, but what kind of sad life people must have to go around looking at people's submission history then creating new account then writing blog for some person who is not highly rated. Honestly if they're not red, it doesn't matter.

If this is a case of cheating then you should definitely raise your voice against it. But you should not defame whole coding community of any country. You are accusing whole Indian community for plagiarism .
