Wanted to enquire something about WAs

One of my friends made me wonder about the plagiarism checks here. I know that they may give false positives, and need a manual evaluation of the matches. He told me that some people make fake handles during short contests to avoid penalties for WA. So, don’t they feed wrong or partial answers to MOSS?

So you are asking HOW TO CHEAT WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT ?
ps - penalties doesnt affect your rank in long challenge.

That’s what you inferred from the question? It’s a straight forward question. So, no I am not asking how to cheat without getting caught (I prefer WA after hours of involvement with the problem rather than feeding off on some random solution that doesn’t come from my mind). Give it another reading, and then try answering the question (or ask if it’s still unclear). Would be thankful. :slightly_smiling_face:

P.S.: I know they don’t, thank you anyway.

Hi,

The process of how MOSS works for codechef is confidential. Hence you wont get a good answer to it, sadly.

Hi, I just wanted a closed-form answer. It is sufficiently helpful, thank you Abhishek.
