I’ve recently started participating in the ‘CodeArena’ 1-to-1 fight. However, not a single opponent has ever managed to submit even a partially correct solution in any of the fights I’ve participated in.
Some days ago, while ‘fighting’, I saw my opponent compiling his code and then submitting it only to get a WA in all the test cases. The problem was far too easy to get a WA. I tried to locate his submission after the fight, but couldn’t find it.
My suspicion increased when I looked into their profiles. All of them “hasn’t added any details yet.” Each profile name has the syntax: <first_name><last_name>, sometimes followed by another and/or a random number.
Eg. Yesterday, I fought against someone called Niranjan Kumar (https://www.hackerearth.com/@niranjan.kumar1). Problem was Choosing the Judges; a standard DP problem. My opponent compiled his code, then submitted, and obviously got a WA.
After contest ends, I find the problem, view the “All submissions” page and… Wow, my opponent is non-existent.
I admit I am new in Hackerearth, and I must not bluntly accuse someone; but am I really missing anything?
