Hi applecrazy! I'm the author of the article.

I'm really sorry that the work seems like it plagiarizes yours. I started this project as soon as HQ Trivia came out, and I did not see your article until reading this comment.

A few other comments on this thread show that others (e.g. https://github.com/nbclark/hqcheat/) also implemented very similar techniques, so it seems that this may just be a "great minds think alike" situation :/.

I'd love to support your article as well, as I love your format and videos! Let me know if you'd like to talk about plagiarism, would love for us to talk directly instead of on comments.

A level headed classy response to a knee jerk baseless claim.

To think that two (or three or a dozen) clever engineers couldn't independently look at one of the most popular mobile apps and think "I can game this" is silly.

After thinking over this, I realized I was in the wrong and I agree with you 100%. This was completely a knee jerk reaction to a coincidence I found, and I apologize for accusing stervy for copying my post on the basis of a mere pattern. I guess I still have more to learn.

I wish I could take back my baseless accusation, but the internet is forever :-/

Thanks for the kind words! I feel bad for accusing you of plagerism based on just structure itself. It was a completely impulsive reaction.
