I have just realized from automated polygon emails that I already seen a problem from this contest (and even have access to it on polygon) since TheScrasse has just commited on it. No one has told me before this that I could not participate...

wuhudsm please do better.

    Actually you were coordinating wuhudsm's round but you gave it to me, so this time it's normal you have already seen the problems :)

      That's not the point. Also, why should I assume it's a problem I've seen before? The annoucement said that wuhudsm only contributed 1 problem. It's quite likely its a new problem???

      No one told me that I have already seen problems before. That is not ok. If you didn't send the above email, I might have participated?
