Notice from Avik Roy

This is a notice from Avik Roy: if anyone copies a solution/idea of a solution from somewhere else and posts it in this forum, he or she must mention the source.

Sometimes I post the same solution in AOPS and here.I hope that won't be considered copying. :?

No that's not copying.

And what if just the similarity between ideas appears? For an example: I solved problem $1$ of $1993$ using Eisenstein's criterion. But later I found that it was like the alternative solution given in IMO compendium. Link of this problem: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2165

To both of you, I don't get what you are meaning by copying solutions or same ideas. But to make you clear, tell me how many distinct solutions are there for a particular problem? At most 20 or 30, or may be something larger. But when that same problem is solved by at least a hundred people, what can you say? Mustn't the ideas intersect? That is never copying. So, if you are clear to yourself, whatever it looks like, don't care. Otherwise, I don't know what to say. Certainly you can't copy solutions directly, since there are LaTeX issues and some other.

That happens to me the most I think(because most of the problems posted here were solved and may be posted as well by me in AoPS previously). So, that depends on how you are doing.

It is all about self respect . I don't think a person would never just copy a solution and post it here just saying, "I have done this all by myself ." If someone does that, then that is his mentality problem, which is not worth discussing anywhere else.

I totally agree, and that's why I believe nobody simply copies a solution from somewhere. And that's why this notice isn't from me.
