Haha — Chinmay here. Oh goodness I remember this! What actually happened is that there were two sols. submitted that we’re similar enough that we were concerned about cheating — both used the royal “we”. And the weird part was that very few people used royal “we” on that problem. The two were not direct copies so we thought we should just ask the submitters to self report to BoC rather than deal with an official report.

Sorry if I insinuated you were cheating falsely!

No worries. I unfortunately had to make my own cheating accusations when I TA'd other classes...

Reading some of these old proofs is a little cringe-inducing. Masking cluelessness with the royal we doesn't work very well :-)
