is this considered as cheating ?
Автор ChickenInKitchen, история, 3 года назад, По-английски

So I was looking at the ongoing contest standings and I noticed something. Is it considered as cheating if you are a div.1 and you use a secondary div2 account to submit your initial code for a problem in the div2 contest to get all the wrong answers etc and submit your correct code in the div.1 account ? because I always see some people that are only solving C/D/E problems in the div2 contest like this guy : VietnameseEagle now I cant be 100% percent sure that this guy is actually doing what I have mentioned but I am like 80% sure. Plus if you change the code just a little bit you probably wont get detected.

It is technically cheating. Can 2 submissions of the same problem from different divisions be plag checked? If not, that should be implemented.

Yes as we are only allowed to participate with 1 account

From my point of view anything except your knowledge and skill giving you extra benefit in a contest should be considered as cheating.

Just to mention it: To cheat that way there is no div1 account needed. The same works with two div2 accounts.

I quickly skimmed through the Div1 scoreboard to see if anyone solved the same two problems roughly at the same time. And Gnoud__'s submissions got my attention:

  • "Portal" problem : 130347614 VietnameseEagle vs. 130352386 Gnoud__ (16 minutes later).
  • "Train Maintenance" problem : 130355991 VietnameseEagle vs. 130358582 Gnoud__ (10 minutes later).

VietnameseEagle and Gnoud__ also participated in an older contest #637 (but looks like these two were actually different persons, based on submission timings of the other problems):

  • "Nastya and Strange Generator" problem: 77799353 VietnameseEagle vs. 77804076 Gnoud__ (7 minutes later).

In an even older contest #625, Gnoud__ had skipped submissions.

I can't be sure if these submissions are really similar or it's just a coincidence.
