This platform is for learning something new and practicing, why you people are just seeing it with respect of rating. Rating goes up and down,it doesn’t matter much, I think we should focus on learning not to waste our precious time on discussing such issues.Instead Discuss some problem,you all are very wise,employ some wisdom.Merry Christmas:)

@codeaf, dont mistake my tone in following comment.
Did u know about that problem solution being available?? Did u solve the problem urself?
If no then the problem was new for you and you should try to solve this on your own.
PS: I dont know what u went through ICPC, and my concern was that if next time there doesn’t appear a similar case. But i wont say codechef stooped low because i know that the mistake was unintentional.
I didn’t knew that there were only a few submissions (cant know, without being moderator, or in problem aetting team) so assumed that there might be more submissions which gained this way, that’s only why i asked for an action. I didn’t knew that there were only a few submissions.
Merry christmas.
I don’t care about rating. I just wished to bring this to notice of admins, that’s all. Hope u understand.

That’s no problem @kingofnumbers. I didn’t knew that problem testing include googling step too (silly of me).
PS:I’m glad no one is actually penalized because of me. 
Could u plz give link to those solution…
Hmm that’s true. I haven’t seen anything like that on Codeforces either. Does Codeforces mention anywhere how they deal with plagiarism? I searched a bit but it was fruitless.
@nishant0208 i think you forgot to add mine. ID:16656767 I did this terrible mistake and instantly mailed codechef,setter,tester and asked them to disqualify my solution. Now it doesn’t mean I didn’t try solving it and “cheated”. I tried for good enough 2 hours, I got frustrated because it seemed so obvious but was getting WA(Happens with lot). In last 5 min I googled just to get some common approach to attempt after contest. In b/w i saw its alrdy there and in heat of moment i submitted it. There may be many like me.I don’t think it’s good disqualifying all.
