    After reading your blog, I went to Newton School site and tried to see previous contests problems. When I tried to access previous contest problems, it showed they are locked. I thought after signing up, I will be able to read problems. Surprisingly no success.

    This is first platform I saw which declares it's contests public but keeps problems statements private.

    Can I ask what is motive behind this?

    I knew earlier that Newton School scams undergrad using some pay after getting job program but I expected that your contests will be somewhat real.
