are the following two assumptions correct about tasks 1 and 2?
- The final evaluation will be performed using exactly the same bagfiles you published in conjunction with the virtual machines.
- Contestants are not required to submit or publish their full source code for solving the tasks.
In case both are true I wonder: How can you effectively prevent teams from cheating? I could imagine teams precomputing very accurate solutions to both tasks using much more processing power and time than available on the final evaluation hardware and afterwards hardcoding this accurate result into their solution program. Result: Perfect computational efficiency, perfect accuracy.
What is your stance on that?
Thanks in advance,
