Scoring, Leaderboards & Anti-Cheating

• Points scale by difficulty and novelty.
• Time-based bonuses for fastest solves.
• Flag submission policies (single-use, rate-limited) to deter brute force.
• Anti-cheat: automated heuristics detect scripted submissions, similarity analysis across solves, IP-rate checks, and manual review for suspicious rapid solves.
• Team modes with pooled points and shared progress.
