Subject: Incorrect Credential Distribution Issue between PUC_BinaryBuddies and Team Pseudo
Date: December 1, 2021, 11:48

Dear all,

Due to an error during the distribution process of credentials, two participating teams "PUC BinaryBuiddes" and "Team Pseudo" ended up submitting solutions from the same account. This issue has already been acknowledged from the organizers and I am mentioning it here for reference:

"Dear Judge,
Please solve it .
Team 04 - got the password of team 104 
Team 104-Got the password of team o4 

Team Information:
 04-Team Pseudo - Tasnima Hamid Sharika Khan Nishat Tasnim Shishir
104-PUC_BinaryBuddies - Nasrin Jahan Ripa, Sanam Jawhar Anika, Jumana Khanam Nishat

We first came to know about this issue after this clarification request: https://toph.co/_/clarifications/61a07a89ecf6b3349542839a

After receiving the confirmation that was mentioned above from the organizers, we have swapped the institution names and team names of the two teams. But unfortunately, both the teams kept on submitting from the same account: tmpxuun.4

Team Pseudo has made a request to the organizers after the contest on 28 November mentioning the following:

"Dear Sir,
We were participating as Team Pseudo from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Digital University, Bangladesh (BSMRDU). We were given the same credentials as Team PUC_BinaryBuddies. Our solutions overlapped and even after solving a problem, we are not in the standings.
We would be grateful if you kindly look into the matter. Thank you.

"

So, from Ardent Programmers end, we have made a thorough investigation based on the submissions and the screencasts. We did not receive any screencasts of "Team Pseudo" from the organizers as some of the team's screencasts were not collected. The organizers have suggested that these missing videos were due to internet issues by those teams.

Fortunately, we have received the screencast of "PUC BinaryBuiddes". According to that screencast, the following submissions were made by each of the teams:

PUC BinaryBuddies: 758469, 758490 and 758693
Team Pseudo: 758402, 759174, 759213, 759223, 759396, 759398, 759405, 759448, 759476 and 759490

About the submission id 759041 there is no clear evidence that PUC BinaryBuddies have made from the screencasts. Having said that, since Team Pseudo have solved it already, submission id 759041 can be safely credited to PUC BinaryBuddies.

This is the link of the screencast of PUC BinaryBuddies: [REDACTED]

I am also including one member of each team in this email.
	
I am hoping for your kind thoughts and considerations for solving this issue. My suggestion would be to credit those submissions that I have mentioned to the respected teams. From the start of the journey, Toph has always been rigid about the integrity of the contests. Same is the case for Ardent Programmers as well. I would request to resolve this issue keeping in mind the integrity of the contest and overall long term benefit of the contestants.

Regards
Tarif
