the "AI problem" on cf is well known thing, such known that after almost all of the recent contest there has been at least one blog complaining about it or reporting an "AI cheater", but cheating isn't anything new, in fact in almost every online game (and many other media and places) there are cheaters, but more importantly there are official ways to deal with them

most well known method is the "official report" feature most games have. I won't bore and cut to the chase, cf needs an official "report" feature and as far as I'm aware it eigther doesn't exist or isn't well built because most people are just writing blogs to report other (which could be, and probably is annoying for some people)

(also before I end the blog, please share if there other and better ways to deal with "cheaters" and "reports)

so it was an interesting contest to say the least xD but what i want to talk about is using ai to cheat i think it is obvious that a ton of people cheated (very much so on f of div2) as a matter of fact 2 of my own freinds cheated (i wont say their names cuz i aint no snitch, at least for now) but even looking at random peoples codes for d,e,f and comparing them to a,b,c, i just cant shake the feeling that some cheated now i cant really prove they cheated, maybe they suddenly changed codding style and improved from lower rated to candis but i just wanted to share my opinion :)

 me after this contest lmao

hello everyone :) recently I was thinking about the idea of adding a working solution to question to help better understand the question statement, obviously I'm not talking about just witing the solution in the problem statement, what I'm talking about is like a simple executable that will output the right output if givven the right input regarding the problem now here is my question, I would assume I'm not the first person to come up with such idea, so what I ask is, what is the flaw with it? the reason something like this hasn't been implemented?
