Also the ones in ranks 955, 987 should be checked. ICY, good job, but it might be the case that your script only compares programs with the same extension. You should compare any two files no matter what the extension is. I actually don't have such program of my own, just looked at sources from India which were uploaded at about the same time.
I guess the Google team already has good algorithms and programs for detecting such violations. They also have info on times of failed submissions and IP in order to verify such things. It's actually the silliest thing to cheat on computerized submissions. These things are the easiest to catch. And the one who actually successfully coded the original solution just made himself disqualified. If not for the cheating, the disqualification is for proving "un-smart-ness". -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
