Sorry for thinking You're a cheater, but it seemed You were.
The best option, I think, (in this case) is numerix's 2nd idea. I understand that You souldn't change somebody's task but You can always ask the author to enlarge it.
Then, after rejudge, we will all see whether You just printed the output or wrote the correct program and noone would ever call You a cheater again (I think, because unless somebody makes a printscreen it can't be proved that Your submissions were rejudged).
After my comment below the problem had been deleted without any note or explanation of the problemsetters (to whom you are related), I saw no other way to point these things out than using the forums cheating-thread.
It seems that moderators have not interest in that case and it's not up to me to tell you, if or when to submit a solution.
IMHO one shouldn't submit a solution to a problem at all, if he belongs to the group of problemsetters and thus knows (or at least could know) the problem's input and expected output as well as other users AC code.
at first problem not removed!!!
secondly : i want one of moderators to tell me if something wrong i do and i post all the story in this subject i'm not afraid from anyone but i want to know why i posted in cheating subject ..... and what can i do know .... also numerix asked to add different languages in problem with more test cases and done now i asked when can i submit my solution but numerix tell me now i shouldn't submit for the problem .... plz i need moderator to reply and tell all of them if i had done something wrong and what can i do ? if i was right in every thing plz told the users and remove my name from this subject
ok good idea see nw
i disqualified my ac solution until moderators tell me if it is accepted to submit my solution or not

The problemsetters opened the problem for some other languages again - thanks for that.
My other suggestion was to increase the number of testcases in a way that even someone who knows the expected output and thus could submit a code that only prints that output (instead of processing the input data) has no chance to get a short code.
If you look at the changes they made at the problem description, it seems that the number of test cases has really increased ("15 to 20").
But that isn't true. The only change is adding the number of testcases as first line of input data, but there are still only 7 testcases!
Problemsetters, if you are really interested in avoiding any "bad taste": Why do you do such things? Why not producing an input of, say, 200 lines.
Just write a short piece of code and generate 200 random testcases, perhaps add some special cases and even one who knows about the i/o doesn't have any advantage by that.
Take a look at 10th page here: http://www.spoj.pl/ranks/GOALFR/5.
Too much accounts for one guy I think.

Something is wrong with test cases i guess( empty txt file gets AC ).
I regret to say, there exist some indications that Rully Soelaiman (arena) might be a cheater. That would be devastating, because I believed that he was brilliant coder worthy of position next to Oleg and Xilinx, not a cheater.
I have posted 1 problem on spoj, and my friends many more. They all say that Rully posted someone's code. As for my problem this is true, and I disq his solution.
Please look into it. If I am wrong I apologise to all of you, especially to Rully for saying this stuff.
The following I can confirm for my problemset PRIMPERM23:
The solution of Rully Soelaiman32, submitted on 02-05-2011, is byte by byte identical to the solution of Tegg62, submitted on 29-04-2011.
User alrezza21 (name of the ancients) has 450 problems solved within a single week, submitting one solution after another. Must be a genius.
I'm sorry, but again it is very obvious that Rully Soelaiman15 continues submitting others solutions:
