I didn't realise it had been on HN already. I just saw it because Sam Saffron tweeted it. I guess I should search more thorougly (I just searched for "cheat" and checked the first page.)
Don't sweat it, I didn't see it the first time and it's a good read, glad it was reposted. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Also, HN search for previous submissions is hit or miss. A more reliable way is to search ddg or google for 'site:news.ycombinator.com [url you want to submit]'.
