False positive plagiarism detected by the system
By fake_1100, 23 months ago, In English

I got a message regarding plagiarism in one of my solutions (matching with hihihizaru) in the last contest. Due to this last contest is unrated for me. But I solved all the questions by myself. Can anyone help me in this situation? How can I claim back my solutions?

My submission: 160882443

hihihizaru's submission: 160869037

See the details:

Your solution 160882443 for the problem 1694D significantly coincides with solutions hihihizaru/160869037, fake_1100/160882443. Such a coincidence is a clear rules violation. Note that unintentional leakage is also a violation. For example, do not use ideone.com with the default settings (public access to your code). If you have conclusive evidence that a coincidence has occurred due to the use of a common source published before the competition, write a comment to post about the round with all the details. More information can be found at http://codeforces.com/blog/entry/8790. Such violation of the rules may be the reason for blocking your account or other penalties. In case of repeated violations, your account may be blocked.

Please help me to get this contest rated for me. I tried hard to solve 4 questions in this contest.

I agree with fake_1100.

For problem 1694D, once you come up with the solution, I think the implementation is pretty simple and straightforward, whichever method you use. In my case I used DFS, and I could easily find submissions that have similar DFS function as mine and fake_1100(160852387, 160850752, 160853555, 160859631, 160867450, etc), and even the author's DFS function looks very alike, too. So I think it's quite likely to have similar submissions for this problem, and at the same time, me and fake_1100 had similar coding style(using lambda functions instead of global), which led to false plagiarism detection.

I feel like the fact that fake_1100's current rating is Newbie makes it much hard to believe that he/she is claiming for actual false positive plagiarism detection(AFAIK cheating happens mostly at Newbie ~ Pupil). Not to mention, I didn't share my code to anybody and I don't know this person at all.

MikeMirzayanov, it would be very grateful if you could look into this issue. I'm sorry for interrupting you.
