As I understand it, your idea is: When I submit output for a problem, look at all previous correct Small outputs I've submitted for that problem and make sure it's different from all of them. If not, reject the submission in the same way as files that don't start with "Case #1: " are rejected. That sounds like a great idea to me. I considered it when I was still working at Google, but never had the time. Maybe that's something they can work on now; I wonder how often it happens that people submit the same output for their Large as their Small. I'm guessing it's possible to check. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
