Hi everyone, I am kishan.ved . I confirm that neither of us has cheated. This is a simple problem and both of us have solved it by the same approach. I agree that our codes are similar, but they are not exactly the same. There are notable differences, only the logic used is the same. You can check it yourself. The solution uses concepts like BFS (with a small modification), and hence, it so happened that both of us solved it in a similar manner. We have never spoken to each other before, never shared solutions and did not cheat during the contest.↵

I am still learning CP and I was quite surprised by this. If you notice, I have upsolved problems of the contest after not being able to solve them during the contest duration. If I just wanted rating, I could have cheated on them too.↵
