I haven't checked everything, but everything I did check just shows "1"" as their code. I couldn't find a report feature or some way to privately bring this up without having to utilize another website so I'm just posting it here.

Hi Friend!

Thanks for bringing attention to this! And it is ok to write at forum about such things.

It seems these submissions were made in 2014, during the very first year of the CodeAbbey. So I believe it is not because of bad intent, but just this fellow was running the code on his/her own computer and didn't care to upload solution after success.

Uploading solutions is not required (unless person wants certificate), though nowadays it's better to upload code to prevent flagging account as cheater...

Probably main disadvantage for us is that such submissions should be ignored when looking for other's solutions.

I'll think of how to deal with it (technically)... Thanks again for showing this!

Ah, I didn't know it was optional. After completing a problem I like to look see how other people's code looks, and this was the first I saw something without a solution.

Unrelated to this, I am having fun with this site learning different algorithms for the problems. I was never good at math but taking it one step at a time it is enjoyable. Thanks.
