Just Reporting Some Cheaters

I am writing this to just report some cheaters I found in the latest round (#804). aman_cod, bored_kid, Noob_coder_042003, 1_2_3_4_5_9 are the ones that have cheated.

Have a look at the submissions of problem E from the contest Please look at the code in main void and compare as they have obscured their code to avoid plagiarism detection.

First one to submit : 162806135 Then the second guy submits it in python : 162804059 Then these two submitted the first code as it is but with alot of unnecessary code : 162802356, 162804537

To confirm you could also match their other submission from the contest and will find the similar pattern described above and all four of them solved the 4 questions i.e., [A,B,C,E].

Please MikeMirzayanov and geranazavr555 look into it and ban these guys.

Sorry for posting a blog which does not contribute anything to the community.

Look at these submissions for C and E (Being a unrated account can't add images in comment so adding links to the images) Problem C Submissions side by side comparison Problem E Submissions side by side comparison It's too obvious my good sir. So, stop lying this ain't no coincidence. Clearly copied!

  • 6 weeks ago, # ^ | dear 1_2_3_4_5_9 Really impressive profile you have gotten now. I am blessed to see a legend like you. You have become my inspiration. Trust me from now on I also won't work harder but cheat harder like you sorry code harder like you but I will convert c++ code to Java(woot woot I am Groot). Please MikeMirzayanov please, It is an ardent request from me, please introduce a new badge named after my lord 1_2_3_4_5_9. I want to be the greatest cheater sorry coder ever.All hail Lord 1_2_3_4_5_9. Note: Cheaters are asshole and 1_2_3_4_5_9 is their god.Long live 1_2_3_4_5_9.

• 6 weeks ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   +30 My dear friend(cheater), You first cheated in Codeforces Round #718 (Div. 1 + Div. 2) and last time in the div 3 contest(Codeforces Round #753 (Div. 3)). After that, your code got never skipped, also you started solving contests in python. Earlier This asshole used to copy code in c++ and when it got skipped, This idiot started a trick to fool anti-plague by changing c++ code to python. BOOM he is a pro awesome coder sorry cheater. He is a pro cheater(changing c++ code to python and variables).

• 6 weeks ago, # ^ | Why do some Indians cheat all the time? You should learn from our dear Botswanaian Sparky_Master_WCH1226 ! 1_2_3_4_5_9, don't be another nitin_05!

  • 6 weeks ago, # ^ | Don't embarrass nitin_05 he was a noob cheater and got banned but this cheater 1_2_3_4_5_9 is a legend. Changing c++ code to python to escape the plague test is a legendary achievement. Even MikeMirzayanov would be very impressed with this new trick. Please MikeMirzayanov introduce a new badge of achievement Legendary GrandCheater for 1_2_3_4_5_9. After all his achievements should be well appreciated.

    • 6 weeks ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 2 →   +4 I think our dear 1_2_3_4_5_9 has never been tagged by so many people before. btw you are wrong, 1_2_3_4_5_9 forgot to use inline assembly:)

• 4 days ago, # ^ | 1_2_3_4_5_9 has successfully reached cm and is now cheating through his alt account 14_15_16 trying to reach cm from that account too lol.

• 6 weeks ago, # ^ | yes, To_catch_a_cheater did a proper research too before tagging.. good work

  • 6 weeks ago, # ^ | Yes, he is our messiah

• 6 weeks ago, # ^ | Never banned them, this will only lead to new account poping up every day. Just give them lifetime cheater batch. And take all rights to change their social info in any way. This is better than banning them i guess.

  • 6 weeks ago, # ^ | Yes I agree with u. Also, I think Codeforces can develop an anti-cheating system. It just need to delete useless codes (like comments) and compare the codes to judge if the code should be skipped. Many other coding and contesting websites have this system and I think Codeforces can develop one too. If there is something wrong with my comment, plz, point it out for ne, thx.

    • 6 weeks ago, # ^ | IT IS ALREADY HERE.

• 6 weeks ago, # ^ | What if 1_2_3_4_5_9 aman_cod bored_kid Noob_coder_042003 are the alts accounts of 1_2_3_4_5_9 ?? Maybe be he has created 5-10 accounts like this so that even if 3-4 like this are plagiarized, at least one account will remain XD. 1_2_3_4_5_9 SHOULD BE ASHAMED !!!! 1_2_3_4_5_9 SHOULD BE ASHAMED !!!! 1_2_3_4_5_9 SHOULD BE ASHAMED !!!! 1_2_3_4_5_9 SHOULD BE ASHAMED !!!! 1_2_3_4_5_9 SHOULD BE ASHAMED !!!!

    • 6 weeks ago, # ^ | it can't be a political statement if its a fact

• 6 weeks ago, # ^ | Maybe the plagiarism checks of different languages are not easy. But these cheaters should be banned right now.

  • 6 weeks ago, # ^ | They won't be banned anymore. CF plag checker is a joke and here the cheaters have escaped after adding 40 lines of code between every 5 lines of code to escape moss. Still, no action taken by MikeMirzyanov to ban the obvious cheaters. If moss is this easy to break obfuscated Code then the plag checker of cf is useless. It is assured that there are several cheaters who are cm and even master

• 26 minutes ago, # ^ | ← Rev. 4 →   0 Mike can just skip solution of people like us who code without ANY CHEATING. I got my recent solution skipped , Question C and I still don't understand why?...I feel furious. All the time, effort I put into this, feels like wasted. Mike, remember when you foolishly blame someone for cheating, and penalize them, You not only penalize their ratings, but the time effort hardwork they have put behind it, everything goes down the drain. I still don't understand, what is the problem. 20k+ people are attending the contest and some lines of codes can be similar, doesn't mean I cheated. Wtf man. I will be using USELESS CODES AND COMMENTS in this upcoming contests cuz that's how Mike wants it to be. There are a hell lot of obvious cheaters everyone knows, but Mike is not even bothered about them. Instead he worries newbies and pupils like us for getting 1-2 lines of code similar. Pathetic!! CodeForces is just on its way to transition to another CODECHEF platform. Full of cheaters!!! Cuz I'm not a wanna be grandmaster out here. I just want to attain enough knowledge so that I can be good enough in solving basic observation based questions and binary dp question. That's all I am seeking here from codeforces. But I am sure, when I'll be back in 5-6 years. CodeForces will just be another CODECHEF, full of master , expert cheaters
