MikeMirzayanov This comment is an appeal against the plagiarism verdict on my 274779515 for problem 1999D — Slavic's Exam.

I want to make it clear that I wrote the code entirely by myself and didn’t copy it from anywhere or use any external code.

The solution code is pretty short—only 10-15 lines and the logic is straightforward. I used some trivial/common variable names, which might explain the similarity with the other submission.

As you can see the contest was unrated for me along with the user whose submission has been flagged with mine 274762618, which clearly shows that neither of us had any reasons to copy the code, also I have noticed that many people have written a similar code which shows that the solution to this question was pretty trivial.

This is the first time I’ve had this issue, and I’m confident it’s just a misunderstanding. I appreciate you looking into it.
