About pretests and hacks
By xcx0902, history, 10 months ago, In English

Today's Edu round, lots of people were hacked of problem B&C. Most of them got TLE. I think, to avoid this, we should make pretest more strong, or just make the time limit shorter. The writers should think about some wrong solutions that would get TLE and check them if they could pass the pretests. What do you think?

But ig FST is part of the game.. Until now, I haven't seen any hacks on D/E/F which means pretests had been strong. This edu was so close to a div3.

What's the point in banning them I mean what they're doing is the equivalent of submitting a copied solution after a contest it hurts no one.
