AI and introduction of length limits

2025-06-27
Due to the recent plague of clearly AI-written solutions that were submitted not only way, way too long for a sane human being to write, but in most cases also completely wrong, we are introducing the maximum length for each part of the solution.

From now on the motive part of solution cannot be longer than 500 characters, the description of events that took place cannot be longer than 1000 characters, the evidence part of solution cannot be longer than 3000 characters (in some cases long description of evidence might be important). The solution form was updated, it will warn if your solution does not meet the new criteria.

Also, the "Life is too short policy" was updated to include cases of clearly using AI to generate solutions, which may lead to the termination of the account as a time-wasting activity.
