Update: All is done. Thanks sir MikeMirzayanov.I really appreciate your great efforts.
A few years ago, div2 C difficulty was around 1600 — 1800, recently, it has been around 1200 — 1400.
Is it because of the great progress in people's levels? of course not.
The main reason is the cheaters.
I admit that their cheating doesn't affect me or some others, but what about beginners?
I found too many cheaters in the last edu round (also C) with a 100% identical submissions, I waited for them to be skipped but nothing happened! This the main reason I'm writing this blog. So, MikeMirzayanov please do something.
Below are some samples of identical submissions for div2 C -> last round
If I'm wrong with any submission, please text me.
I know this blog will be downvoted by cheaters, but I don't care.
Lol, may some action be taken...
This is one round of many rounds of cheating!.. There's a lot of beginners getting frustrated about this, and I'm one of them!,should be actions be taken with cheaters.
Cheat without reading constraints :( Bros don't cheat, you will end up like Mhmd_Bakr or mohamedbakr banned. :(
I know this blog will be downvoted by cheaters,Don't worry, Mr.heap will upvote you. This account UP is worth 20 or something. xDI pity leetcode for suffering this cheater bakr submissions xD
i think its kinda depressing that solving C would do any good to them. Maximum they'll reach specialist. Nothing more. At some point they'll stop doing that or not. But hey, who cares about them anyways ;)
Actually I feel like div2C is getting easier
exactly, c nerfed
Exactly! I didn't find C so easy to solve, but it was solved by 3000+ people during the contest.
MikeMirzayanov Kindly do something about this please!
Only a minority of those 3000 people cheated you not solving C is just a skill issue
broooo
There is funny changes for cheating codes to escape from testing!!
Probably, an action will be taken, but I wonder if it's that hard to catch up the cheaters. I have an idea; I have no clue if it's hard or easy, but we can put some limits. For example, Div2 C, Div3 D-E, Div4 E-F. Once a problem gets a significantly increased number of people solving it, they may recheck identical submissions during this period. It may work.
One more cheater whose solution is exactly the same as above. https://codeforces.com/contest/1925/submission/243634602 I would request the contest authors to ban or skip their submissions.
Damn he became an expert!
Thanks!
expert at cheating, ig
They will get away as usual
Many didn't even get their time complexity right in B. Hacked xD...
YES!! This is actually too funny and happened before xD I even sent a private message to one of Mhmd_bakr friends warning him of Bakr's fate. Because he cheated an FST solution for B, and got TL XD. I don't know why this organization of Mhmd_Bakr contains lots of cheating.
My frustration is unbearable , im 4 points away from! This means i would have probably been pupil without those cheaters , and sadly im definitly not the only one who experienced this.
Such a spurious argument
Thanks MikeMirzayanov ,all submissions in this blog are skipped ._.!
