tmwilliamlin168 posted this video on solving A-D questions of Google Code Jam.

While I know that it might be technically allowed under the rules of the Qualification Round: I really think that the video should not be posted while the contest is ongoing, because it seems to be against the spirit of Competitive Programming, and I believe that many people will blindly copy the solutions to advance to the next round — something that helps no one.

I believe that discussing solutions with someone is very different from having them give you the answer outright — and while this round/video might not affect the future rounds and outcomes — it really kills the mood of solving questions by yourself etc.

What do you think about it?
