This shows nowadays we need to learn Chinese language and improve our searching skills, But this isn't fair, MikeMirzayanov What's your opinion about this?

1044F is a harder version of round 808 problem C(I wasn't aware of it in contest).I came across this problem today while randomly solving 2700s on CF.Its probably a coincidence.

Bad point: I'm so sad because I got a lot of penalties at div1B at round 808. Good point: I become orange by messing few rounds, I'm not on a wrong way.

Two problems being similar does not necessarily mean it is copy-pasted. Maybe it is a coincidence and the author just did not know about it.

    According to this blog : https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/105221 That problem was completely copy-pasted Also in other two rounds that I've mentioned the problems are exactly the same as the source, So maybe you're right sometimes it's consodence but not for these rounds!

Speaking specifically about 808 Div2D, the authors proposed the problem long before an equivalent problem appeared on Codechef, so it is certainly not copied from Codechef.

I also know myself what it is like from my own contests to come up with a problem I love, and to have checked very carefully if it appeared before, only to find out on contest day that it appeared before.

We are doing everything we can to avoid unoriginal problems by having experienced testers look at the problems, but some will inevitably slip through given the huge number of problems out there and no team of testers will have seen all of them.

If div1C/ div2E is also copied then why div2 is not unrated?

    It is similar, not copied

No. I got a 4 on AP Chinese and my rating is still very low

    4 on AP Chinese is far from the level of understanding Chinese.

Only one (deliberate) fu*k up by one author in 1 contest among almost 1000 contests. and now people will have doubt about every little coincidence.

CodeTON Round 2 is also Chinese round, I knew some of the writers before, so I hope that round will be better.
