Or have a team solving problems in parallel, so the total time to solve all problems is the time it takes to solve only the hardest problem.
You need to submit your source or whatever you used to solve the problem to have something to back your output up. Think of it a receipt, Google may or may not check all of them, but you are not a cheater if you have a relatively unique code (simpler problems have many similar codes) that generates the correct output for the input you received.
