Same

Weaker

Some participants solved H with public code.

Should this contest be unrated?

It didn't only cause unfairness but also misled some participants since the standings gave wrong information.

Definitely should be unrated.

The round should remain rated. See Mike's blog post from two years ago for more details: https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/112709

    The difference is that in this case the problem was available on codeforces, so everybody on codeforces had an equal chance of solving it. Not only today's problem H exists on another online judge (giving an unfair advantage to people who also know and use this judge), but also the other judge is in Japanese, imposing a huge language barrier for the average codeforces user who does not speak Japanese (the average codeforces user speaks English or Russian, which are the the default language of the website). Even if I knew this problem existed in the Japanese online judge, I wouldn't be able to find it because of the language barrier).
