Most of the solutions are leaked on youtube…and those who leak solutions are especially just wanting initial subscribers on their channel…
@admin codechef should deduce solution, a token number of people who make these videos, and also those who comment on the videos…
Also, many people ask me solutions on Linkedin.
The only good thing is cheaters are generally of div 2 and their sole purpose is to get into div 1 to write on their resumes…that’s why there’s relatively less cheating in div 1
But beginners are very disheartened from this behavior…I request codechef to search these people on youtube and ban them for good!
Me too. Nothing is working out. Hope they come out with the editorials quick rather than last time around when the editorials for long were both of a very poor quality and came out very late as well.
I don’t know why you found the editorials of last time poor. This time, not sure about your taste but most of the editorials are already ready to be published.
Last time around, the editorials (case in point: ACCBIP and SUBSFREQ) were very poor as they were not too beginner friendly in explaining things(Also, i may have been comparing them to Rajarshi Basu’s editorials). It is good to hear that this time around the editorials are almost ready for publishing.
I think codechef’s GUI is the best and I really like the platform. Anyone who doesn’t like Long Challenges, feel free to not participate. I don’t understand why you want to make it unrated and waste 10 days of the actually sincere people who don’t cheat
Me too, Till now I am thinking how to solve for K=3 though I had made some observations ,
Hope it’s editorial doesn’t turns out to be like SUBSFREQ of August which was released perhaps after cook off.
demotivating long challenge for me working hard and finally cracked five questions first time but my ranking dropping like just I solves first question.Took my four to five days to crack chefina and swap and finxor problem but so demotivating now I am moving towards codeforces.
You don’t need to demotivate. Take it as a motivation that after trying with genuine efforts you finally cracked the problem. Rank does not decides the capability of anyone.
Really very disappointing from the coders(actually cheaters not coders) who are cheating from the past 2-3 long challenges and really disappointing for the one who tries very hard to solve 2-3 problems and what he gets is 10k+ranks on the last day and the ranks continuously increasing just like a logarithmic graph…
obviously from 1st day i am looking that cheswp and cov19b submission was 2.5k approx but today submission goes to 6k in only 3 hours.
this decreases rating of student who is doing by itself. Its really very demotivating.
That question was really stupid imo I haven’t learnt a thing from that question it was just time consuming … and I wasted 4 days on that question. I was literally searching for a pattern in 426mb text file. But fortunately I scored 30.
@admin…in both div 1 and div 2, only those problems have less submissions whose solutions were not put on youtube. Please have a strong plagiarism check this time.
