I think the question is copied rather than calling solutions are plagarised. The question is present in Looking for Challenge under the name Termites with the similar code.

The solutions are clearly distinct. Some steps can be same owing to a common logic. Instead of you bothering about them being copied, why don’t you focus on your coding skills? Let Codechef do its work.
