Cheating in Codeforces Round #821 (Div. 2)
By amit_dwivedi, history, 2 years ago, In English

Hi Community!

I am convinced that in Codeforces Round #821 (Div. 2), Multiple people solved problems simultaneously and submitted solutions from the account i_will_be_less_than_blue.

Problem B and C has been submitted in less than seconds of timespan.

Submitted at 17:48:15 (IST) : Here

Submitted at 17:49:22 (IST) : Here

Both the solutions uses different templates and coding styles which does not match with the most of the other solutions submitted by the user.

Multiple people collectively are not supposed to solve a problem set that's intended for an individual. This kind of fake performance like IGMs harms the actual spirit of the competition.

I believe admins should take action against such cases that happen regularly in the contests.

I agree that we should take action. but here I have one question: "How do we distinguish a legitimate user, an alt, and multiple users using one account?" I feel like tackling this would be very difficult.

      eh, stop it. I was just answering right after a round, and that "after a round" is 2AM for me which is a time I just have nothing else to do.

          ...looking at the responses, I think yall might be thinking I don't have a life, don't you

          really, I was just writing the chapter 1.2 of STL in CP. I expect to release it tomorrow ig (current status: finished writing the paragraph on how std::transform could be used on sparse tables)

First time I've seen someone expose cheaters from their main account(instead of hiding behind alt) + without capital letter spam and exaggerations.
