Hi Proof_by_QED, chromate00, wuhudsm, in the last contest Codeforces Round 1058 (Div. 2), my submission 343388722 for problem E 2160E - Rectangles was marked as same as 343359278. I think this was flagged incorrectly, even though I agree the submissions look similar.

The idea of the problem, although a little complex to arrive at from the less number of submissions, is quite straightforward from implementation perspective. Based on the dimension comparison, we transpose the matrix, find the ans and then reverse transpose (a little cumbersome to write the logic for transpose), OR we can just write the same logic along row or column based on which dimension is lesser.

The 2nd idea was easy to follow for me as the main logic remained same, just the index variables needed to be changed. This idea was also followed by multiple other submissions 343736851, 343714770, 343355237, 343374668.

Furthermore, the user with whom i am matched is from China and a Div1 coder, and I am from India, so it will be really difficult for me to contact him, or copy his code. There are also other small differences in the coding structure which indicate the submissions are authentic.

I request that my submissions be considered. I wouldn't have bothered much, but I got a good rating bump this round so it would really hurt my overall rating.
