Yo So apparently I found out this marshadow_ninja guy and he gain my suspicion through his code.
Problem B: Instant change of coding style, using T instead of tt as his previous problem A submission, variable name starts to get longer. Also this style is very VERY similar to ChatGPT and also in competitive progamming who will like to use caps lock letters and variable i mean it take lot more time
Problem C : "onesAbove" array, interesting name tbh. Also the logic and style is the similar to ChatGPT and same thing again can y'all tell me you will prefer writing o_a or oa as variable name if it is used 10+ time in code or you will prefer writing onesAbove as var name. intially_beauty bro i would have used ib as var name wtf use this much bigger names i suppose his hands had potion that make him immune to pain
Problem D : He did this BEFORE C, how good is he? Same style as ChatGPT.
(using THIS
auto state_id = [&](int i, int dir, int r){return (i*2 + dir) * k + r;};
is what ChatGPT would do, yes i know there ARE people use this, but ChatGPT usually use this too, I'm just bringing up the issue.)
what!! he has 14 accepted solutions of contest in a row he never had a single wrong submissions in contests even for problem E1 .under 14 minutes bro managed to find logic and solve E.
Here's my friend's opinion about this
Look, he solved D1 in 44 minutes, C in 47 minutes. How can a person solved 2 problems in 3 minutes. Plus naming long variables takes a long time. And omg, constructing a struct for each testcases, nobodies that dumb. Plus in E, he's using: using pii = pair<int, int> while he doesn't use and it's not even a snippet. For those who don't know, it's the first time I have seen a function named llabs(), I have been into CP for a year now and haven't seen llabs() before. He even use different snippet for each code.
It's also suspicious that he went from solving 3 problem in edu div. 2 to 5 problems in div. 2 in 9 days.
UPD: prof cheater: KeveinDurant
It's not a joke, but this guy had compilation error in cpp then changed to py-py and got WA on test 1 then compilation error again then switched to cpp again and tle on test 27 then accepted in cpp also see this code https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2118/submission/324132381 is ai but the accepted submission and he switched between coding style's, looks like he is just perfect, it looks like he is proffesional cheater but made a mistake and reveled himself, but I don't like the fact that there are people with this high level of cheating skill.
UPD: https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2118/ by isharoy submission/324131542 suspicious submission they even went from solving 1 problem in div. 3 to solving 5 problems in div. 2 in 4 days lol
UPD: https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2118/submission/324123366 by harshil0810 100% cheater + 1 skipped contest.
UPD: https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2118/submission/324133178 by yashupd + skipped 5 days ago.
UPD: https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2118/submission/324135623 by UIT.NgocHung looks suspicious but he has no skips so let's make likes:
UPD: https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2118/submission/324133178 by yashupd + skipped in last div. 3 recently
Better focus on yourself.
I did, I tried hard on this contest and I dont want to let my hard work ruined by cheater.
So I expose them :)
forgot about these people why dont you focus on yourself, you work hard to get good problem solving skills, if you are just doing CP to get a job then you might as well grind leetcode, but if you are here on codeforces then please realise that you wanted to be here no one forced you to be here, you dont cf for a job, leetcode can do that, I know it sucks when people cheat and get unfair rating and undermine but maybe noe think about so much? why not just enjoy the thrill of solving problems, Hope you take it the good way didnt mean to offend you, its just that I am tired of people doing CP and being miserable and not wanting to do it, if you dont want to do it then dont
you yourself are a cheater and your after seeing your submissions it is clear duh i asked fresh_tangerines he gave me your submissions and now it is clear you are cheater
i know that im a cheater. so what? at least i changed and tried hard in contests
i took your supported only to be misunderstood [:sad emoji:] thanks fresh tangerines but why the fuck you supported me
fuck you
i DO wanna do it tho :) thanks for the advice man. i tried leetcode and its awesome!
I still want to expose these cheater because i want the community friendlier for users and also an aware to every cheater.
I used to be a cheater also so yeah this is just imbalance. I just want a fair competition. If this annoys you then sorry

even though he is cheating, using lambda functions for sort() is not strange. I do it aswell
yeah ik i barely found anyone who do it man

Lame blog, just train till you reach expert, and than the percentage of cheaters that actually influence your rating will drastically drop, otherwise count the cheaters as an extra challenge of yours, haunting accounts with semi-suspicious practices and "exposing them" one blog at a time won't cut it, I'm sick of those "here is a random cheater in a random contest with minimal evidence" kinda blog, leave the blogs for more important info. Or at least that's my opinion about it. BTW, that "prof cheater" if yours could be really not cheating, if you take a look you would notice that at first he forgot to change from c++ to py py, which resulted in him getting a completion error when uploading his Python code, he then re-uploaded it with the right compiler but the code didn't work, so maybe he figured out that the fast code that he had in mind using Python will not work, so he went back to c++ and it took him about half an hour (not a split second), then he forgot about the compiler once again and then he fully solved the problem, it might be just a guy that masters Python and c++ rather than a cheater.
i do agree with this such open public accusations while mostly correct can sometimes have negative effects. what you are saying seems like the case, he has been fairly consistent, with no prior skips, also usually when people get tle it is not unaccepted to use chatgpt as you are not using it to generate logic but rather optimize your code. imo kevin is not a cheater but rather he has made some human mistakes such as forgetting to change the compiler and if he were using gpt to come up with the logic it would not have taken him this long to reupload his new solution.
The arguments being made against him are speculations and nothing concrete and instead of helping the community in this case fresh_tangerines and AttractorsTheory are not correct in making the case against cheating, and instead of rechecking their claims they proceed to call it cute, i have nothing against them and do believe they have the best interest of the community at heart and should rescind their claims till they have more solid proof, as the approach for this problem is not simillar to other submissions, and is consistent to some extent between the python and c++ submissions
indeed and understood
Even thought he may be cheating, cyan in 4 contests is not that hard, look at my contest history
stop flexing on us bruh. (jk all respect)
