Allow viewing others solutions after solving problem

[vastolorde95]

Can you please allow users to view other people's solutions once they have solved a problem? I have always been curious about what other users have implemented to receive a 0.00s run time for their solutions while I sometimes struggle with the 1.0s time limit.

I know that this can create issues with the ranklist for each problem but I have a proposal to fix that. You can view other users' solutions only if you choose to opt out of the rank list for that problem i.e., any further submissions made on a problem after seeing someone else's solution will not reflect on the ranklist for that particular problem.

Of course, other users may be able to create multiple accounts and submit top solutions from multiple accounts, but I am sure you have methods to detect duplicate accounts

Have been using SPOJ for 2.5 years now, and I feel that this is the only reason that prevents me from using SPOJ more often. If am stuck at some problem, I am usually stuck for good and my hours spent attempting a problem yield no fruit since I couldn't learn anything new.

Thanks!

We really need this feature . This is why people go to other coding platforms because they all have this feature.

SPOJ has never allowed viewing others’ solutions so a case can be made that people using this site do not agree to their code being available. I am one of those who use this platform specifically because of this. Lots of work went into building my record and it’s not for script kiddies to copy from.

If you’re stuck, go solve something else, then revisit a couple hundred problems wiser. Viewing a solution gives you an illusion of learning but does not make you a better problem solver.

Generally, I wouldn’t want my code to be visible either. If this ability is added, it should not be made retrospective, and should give the ability for users to opt out. Or even better, it should default to opt out, and give users the ability to opt in if they want their code to be visible to others.

reading other people solution after you have solved it yourself is a great way to learn, especially if you are trying to learn some odd language. Right now for example I’m trying to learn tcl and not being able to read other tcl solutions for problems I solved makes my learning slower than it should be.
It is a shame that this feature is not added just to please some self involved people that think too much of their own solving problem skills.
