Hi everyone, so there are a few OBVIOUS cheaters in the last div3 who used a solution in problem F, that has a block of code
So chromate00 and a few others went on hacking spree and hacked a LOT of these solutions , but rather than the contest getting skipped for these cheaters entirely, it was just that this problem got hacked and the others still remained as valid submissions.
3 examples: mayank_raj5, pawandev and hello.313 .
Now in the last div1+2, a hell lot of cheaters were SKIPPED and rightfully so but does hacking prevent being skipped?
And also whats a bit fascinating is 2 of these cheaters claim to be from IITs, so it just shows you that college and all is fine , but at the end it will come down to YOUR character and discipline. (A bit of motivation, lol).
And at the end can anyone actually tell me is being hacked the reason that they got saved from being skipped?
I think plagiarism checks for this round haven't happened yet, but I might be wrong. They usually happen after system testing, which just finished recently. So we can see if those submissions are still not skipped after that happens.
ohh cool, like this entire process of plag checks and rating rollbacks is quite complex, I just can't wrap my head around it.
do hacked solutions go for plag checks ?
I don't know for certain — I don't see why not, though. It's also pretty likely that their other submissions will be copied, increasing the chances that any one of these people are skipped.
yeah thats true :)
I think only accepted solutions go for plag checking
That could definitely be a problem
How does plag check and rating rollback work??
