After completing my yesterday Cook-Off I was looking for the rest of the problems which were not solved by me and while up solving them I thought to take help from YouTube and guess what weird thing I notice.
Few of the Videos on YouTube Have been posted matching with the timeline of the real contest. This was really embarrassing as I noticed most of them were Indian YouTubers. I urge thereby Code Chef to temporarily Ban their account If they can or any way they can penalize such steps to maintain the essence of the contest.
I have left lunchtime in between to write this up. Solutions are uploaded everywhere before the end of contest. Contest has turned into absolute joke. I do not blame codechef at all for this. They cannot go behind everyone who leaks soltuion.
But as a participant it becomes hard to increase ratings which creates a cycle of negativity. It is certainly good for practice but for participation this is certainly not the right platform.
I guess I am supposed to practice a lot before being eligible for a rating increase.
Seriously dude , I can bet more than 50% of the people cheated in c :(. U can see a very tough problem hardly has 50 solves during contests, but those above 200 are leaked by some mfs polluting the very spirit of this platform
The third hour of contest is the most hazardous thing that can happen to a contest, I’m against 3 hour contests, I believe 2 hours should be standard time for every competitive programming contest.
