I found a cheater in yesterday's round. He/She was a tester and he/she submitted from another account.

parker0523 = shirakami_fbk

I am not 100% sure but the coding style + template is exactly the same. Also, the submissions of the account are really fast for a low CM and his submission on problem C is very weird(105687315).

Please MikeMirzayanov check this out.

Other than that, he obfuscated his code which broke rule#16. He should be penalized for that.

To be honest, I think the first requirement to be a tester is to be a good friend of the writer. If not, then he / she is not qualified to be a tester. I also want to be a tester, but I know how low the probability of becoming a good friend of writer is, so I never expect it. I think that if it is true, his two accounts should be ban

First of all, from the nmsl in the code of his question c, he can be sure that he is from China and not Japan. Then, the nohack function shows that he knows the loopholes in question c, and only a few people (writers and testers) know about the loopholes in question c before the game, that is, the probability of him being a tester is very high.

    I couldn't understand the point of that nohack function. How does it help with loopholes?

      I mean, his algorithm takes advantage of this loophole, and he knows that his wrong algorithm can pass the system test (unless someone creates strong enough hack data), the nohack function itself is useless, this is just like a prayer, but he The way of praying is really ugly.

    I don't understand at all why do you have to point out he is from China. What's the difference between a Chinese or a Japanese or a person whatever country you like cheating? Of course, the term nmsl is a derivative of Chinese and is indeed not decent, but how does this bother you? I am very bothered as a Chinese competitor.

As a p*0523 Japanese, if this is true, disappointing.
Very personally view, but I think it's good to make it more clear how the testers are chosen.

    I think about half of it is searched by the coordinator, and about half is searched by the writer? But the specific standard is not known for the part where the writer searches. Most writers will find it from their friends?

      Hmm, in my case, when I was a writer:

      • First, there were some testers chosen by coordinater-side.
      • When my contest was upcoming, someone who wanted to be a tester sent a message to me. I told it to my coordinator, then I was allowed to add some of them as testers.
      • I didn't find any testers from my friends.(Note: This isn't mean that I don't have CP friends)

      When I was a tester:

      • Sometimes, {I/they} {ask/be asked} nearby contest writers to join as tester(s).
      • I sometimes sent a message to some writers. Sometimes I could join as a tester and sometimes I couldn't.
      • I didn't asked from my friends to join as a tester(Note...)

      I heard that sometimes the testers are chosen random and they will receive a message.

      Anyway, I don't know clear rules about choosing testers...

        I heard that sometimes the testers are chosen random and they will receive a message.

        I've heard about 4 people who randomly got messages for testing, and they were all donors on the last CF donation section. So I think that is the most likely case (unless donors around me happened to be extremely lucky).

        I don't find picking testers from donors necessarily bad, but I hope CF admins are more clear about this, especially since issues regarding cheaters seem to have worsened recently.

Oh! finally, some smart people pointed out there are cheaters from countries other than Indian as well. As I have seen quite a few blogs getting upvotes in the name of India.

I wrote a comment here for Guitar_Waale_Bhaiya AkashRamjyothi1

The funniest part is that he was again doing same kind of thing in yesterday's contest.

See these submissions 105874881 105895241 105915359 105929955

while (true) {
    int abc = 0;
    abc++;
    abc++;
    abc--;
    break;
}

He was again writing the above code everywhere.

I noticed that after recalculating the rating, his rating still increased. In other words, there is not enough evidence to prove that he cheated? Codeforces officials should be able to find more evidence, such as whether the historical login ips of the two accounts coincide and many more. Or did Mike not notice this post? If everything is true, although I don’t approve of making things big (he is just a middle school student after all), it’s not good to pretend that nothing happened, right?

Testers should pay 200$ and they should get 200$ back if everything is ok

In addition, from the blog of parker0523, I can see his email address, which is very similar to the id of shirakami_fbk. I took a screenshot, but I cannot post it because it is suspected of infringing on personal privacy. However, I can say with certainty that the probability of two people being the same person is more than 99.99%. I hope that the codeforces official can investigate.

First we have to admit that there are Chinese cheating. But that is not a reason for you to say that "Chinese are the definition of cheating. " Cheating happens all around the world in every country, to your opinion, should I consider that the people of your country are all cheating? Nonsense.

Don't you think that sometime this type of blogs create toxicity to this platform, agree they should be punished but there is no response on this thing even after 3 weeks of publishing.

Why was no action taken against him?
