User blog:Cyan Wind/A falsy information matrix

If you have observed Khan Academy (especially in Computer Science module) since last week, you would have realized that there are something happening behind the curtain. Several users suddenly earn a lot of badges/energy points in just 2-3 days. Some say they cheated, some say not. What is truly going on?

This blog post is served to summarize all events and to avoid making confusion anymore.

There were 2 major glitches in Computer Science module. Let us call them C glitch and S glitch respectively.

C glitch
C glitch allow users to earn a huge amount of energy points (EPs) in a day (~ 700,000 - 1,000,000 EPs). Abusing this glitch, users can repeatedly take the same Computer Science challenge. Some Khan Academy has used this glitch so far:
 * Light Runner (confirmed by himself)
 * я€ρŁiтǺƶ (confirm by himself)
 * John Lee (Team Half-Blood) (not confirmed, claimed by Light.Runner.Explorer.

S glitch
S glitch allows users to earn numerous meteorite badges in a day (~8,000, 10,000 badges). Abusing this glitch, users can repeatedly earn from some junk programs. Some Khan Academy has used this glitch so far:
 * cr4k3d.3gg

Hope this blog post help you to gain some insight into this problem.
