Hello,
I participated in this contest under the impression that it was fair game, as the announcement referred to OCPC Fall 2024. However, I later realized I've seen the last problem in OCPC Summer 2024. The confusion arose because the blog post mistakenly called it “Fall,” which led me to believe it was a separate event.
I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and would like to relinquish any prize I may have received as a result.
Also, I’d like to kindly suggest reviewing the submissions of the other top participants. A few of them appear to have submission patterns or contest behavior that seem inconsistent with their rating history, which might be worth a second look to ensure fairness for everyone.
Thank you for your time and for organizing the contest!
Thanks for being honest, no problem.
