Fix:

A run consists of:

  * I generate random measurements with the provided script, which will be stored in a readonly file.

  * I run your program to calculate the results (and time it).

  * I run my baseline program and your entry is valid if my baseline program calculates the same results.



The filesystem has to be read-only as well, otherwise the first run can simply write the results to ~/.me_cheater and the program first reads that file before attempting to read the dataset.
