This is very sad :frowning: Codechef must take strict action to avoid such kind of fake events.

Entire problem is same only the the names of characters have been changed.
This is unfair. We were not able to put this as a new question due to lack of enough karma.

According to codechef’s guidelines, you can have copied questions in a closed contest.

I don’t see any point in having all copied questions in an online long contest. They didn’t even bother changing the stories. Many of them had the exact same Problem name too. A simple google search gives the original source.

@admin is taking action. Thank you :slight_smile:

@abdullah768 - Copied questions are allowed only in clsoed contests, i.e. local contests limited to your college etc. Usually where you can make contestants devoid of google.

Oh my bad, I thought anything which wasn’t there in the ongoing contest list was a closed one and were ignored by admin. Glad to be proven wrong :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot @admin for the quick action. My faith in humanity is restored.

@vijju123 I got the prize from UEMCO last week so I think my claim (based on facebook message from probably a fake account) was proved incorrect. They gave the prizes! (atleast can confirm I got it)
