zhengcong's blog

Dear MikeMirzayanov,

I am writing to express my concern and appeal the decision regarding my submission for solution 227893555 for the problem 1881B, significantly coincides with solutions warhammer420/227862846, zhengcong/227893555. It has come to my attention that my work has been flagged for similarity in code style with another participant's submission. While I understand the importance of maintaining a fair and honest environment, I believe this decision may have been made in error and I kindly request you to re-evaluate my submission.

Upon reviewing the feedback, I found that the similarities pointed out were primarily due to the simplicity of the problemand a common approach to solving it. Given the nature of the task, it is unsurprising that many participants may have arrived at similar solutions or used similar coding techniques. The issue at hand was relatively straightforward, and I believe that the likeness in code style can be attributed to this simplicity rather than any dishonest behavior on my part.

Sincerely,

zhengcong

    It's twice funny for me, since today I read this accusation twice. Here and on leetcode (in solution section). The funny part for me (maybe not for everyone, as always) is that when something is eloquent it's GPT and when something is two words with one thought then — it's human.

      xD. The thing is, people can be eloquent without ChatGPT, but ChatGPT has some certain identifying characteristics, I don’t know exactly what but I can usually tell if something is written by ChatGPT or not, you know?

      In my opinion the blog is more verbose than eloquent, and nowadays no human would write like that.

      I would rather add the submission links than underline the importance of maintaining a fair and honest environment.
