Nowaday cheating has become so common that spirit of giving contest is fading out(unless you are master or above),Today first problem of codejam was not that easy but still some **** guy uploaded it on youtube before half hout to end of contest, let suppose someone has made any of other problem then he would have easily came under rank under 1500 cause full A was 30 pointer. **** Link to that video,,p.s I searched for this blog after contest ends cause I was sure someone has again leaked solution .

Now just see this two submissions: Akash ram jyoti submission
and this the witty coder
Just see both first submission and solution of 1st that was leaked on youtube channel Codershub
And The sad part is both were exposed already in many of the previous blogs,,
Cf id: akashramjyothi
Second cheater :the witty coder aka guitar waale bhaiya
Edit:
Google CJ is the new CodeChef long challenge :)
sad but people like akashram jyoti is really destroying joy of contests
Google has enough powers to suspend his channel and ban him from future competitions, They must take some actions.
Don't you think this is not the only way of cheating? What about the telegram groups I am damn sure there must be a great contribution of telegram and many different groups also.
"thewittycoder" is having India rank 13th. Isn't it will hurt good programmers too. Anyone can say by viewing his submission that he was cheating.
can't people just focus on learning?
We have these people spoiling every contest
Now every site contests are becoming like codechef long contest ;_;
And you know who is second cheater : AkashRamjyothi1 ,,,man changed his handle but not his deed;
Here's one more- cf- _AryaStark_
He got rank 418.
He has the same solution to problem A as you mentioned with some obfuscation. https://codingcompetitions.withgoogle.com/codejam/submissions/0000000000435baf/bW9hcnZpdmVr
Also, if you check his past submissions on code forces, you'll notice that he bypassed plagiarism checker by obfuscating his codes.
Proof- https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1491/submission/108720076 (This is round when he became candidate master)
What should we target now? People say to increase your level, cheating is rare on the high rating but what the fuck peoples are reaching candidate master by cheating.
let's just say that there is a new high :)
Breaker-iwnL-...see I told you yesterday that it was possible, you can become CM as well by cheating XD
Sad to see this, it's very obvious too that either he's copying solutions or selling them ( most probably this ). Plus he's from a tier 1 college, what a shame, stop ruining the names of IITs.
Anyways, we should not give up.
Ah, mandatory cheating blog after some contest. I was waiting for this.
thats why had written part infinite ,,,,well I had disagrred wid ur comments in past but something actions must needs to be taken to these cheaters
This User also has similiar code for first problem.
Codeforces Profile — lost_martian
I am satisfied by solving B partially and getting multiple wrong answers in A.
solving nothing >>>>>>>> copying codes from telegram.
I wish google could ban these cheaters so that they cannot interview with them in future.
This witty coder- Ankit Kumar Choudhary is Analyst at Goldman Sachs. I wonder, how do these guys get into these reputed profiles and companies if they need to cheat in coding challenges.
CP is a lot different from interview preparations..
Still, you can't deny the fact that a person getting in GS is really good as there are almost 5 rounds of interviews, out of which 3 are just technical interview/coding.
they are very easy compared to cp. They have standard dp, greedy, ds problems you can grind leetcode for a month consistently and almost be sure that one of the same questions would come. So yea CP helps but its not necessary.
questions in interviews are quite easy as compare to competitive plus you also can't deny the fact that if he didn't have these fake cp ranks he wouldn't even be shortlisted for that interview
GS shortlisting is not based on ranks on any of the cp platforms. The first round is an aptitude test which only a few qualifies.From second round onwards, there are 4 technical interviews.
P.S.- I am not at all justifying his actions,I am just stating the facts which are true.
Well, I don't know what these people get from doing this, most of the correct submissions for A are actually the same code. It's hilarious how people think that getting a good rank in these contests by cheating would help them in any way. I would rather sit idle for 150 mins and thinking about random solutions rather than copy-pasting solutions.
It seems like they do cheating in codeforces as well. There are many others like hello_algorithm just see his solution too in codeforces u all will understand. As same as akashramjyothi.
Please do report these submissions on codejam@google.com too, so that they really face the consequences.
Problem A was so bad that I feel ashamed solving it even without cheating.
Everywhere I go I see cheaters
