The script will run indefinitely, it will log the values in it's CSV every 300 seconds or 5 minutes (controlled by "Timeout" in main.py).

Output

The output will be stored in a CSV file with the name of the contest (eg. START34B.csv)

Libraries used

1. Selenium

Purpose

• This script was made to log the number of submissions and accuracies, I wanted to plot them in a graph to show the spikes.
• My theory was that the spikes would coincide with a large influx of copied submissions.
• With some simple pattern recognition, we can identify the cheaters easily.
