Weird thing going on during long challenge

Apparently some people have figured out a way to earn money during codechef contests.

I know its hard for codechef to point out the specific culprits, who are taking part in this kind of malpractice but still, there must be something which we can do to prevent this from happening.

P.S:-
If you are one of the people who is doing this, then please let the fellow participants arrive at the solution themselves. You are just snatching away their only chance to make mistakes and arrive at the solution.

If you are desperately looking all over the internet to find a solution for the problem then please dont. Rating is temporary. Your satisfaction will be much much greater when you will struggle on a concept for 2-3 days and then finally arrive at the solution.

I doubt anyone would pay for the solution at such a price.
I mean I know about cheating for ratings increase and stuff, but won’t they know about the loss of money since such people have a very slight chance of coming in the top 20 category? Also, MOSS would effectively catch both the one who’s selling the code and the one who (foolishly) submitted the paid-for solution.
So I think there’s nothing much to worry about except regret for the person who would go to such heights to pay for something (ratings) they could get by constant participation on CC.
It was a nice spot though!

@aryanc403 Please don’t get external matters (mostly linked to politics) like JIO here, as it would hamper the unity of the discuss forum!
