What problem are they trying to solve? "cheating" on HackerRank is trivially simple - just have a second computer that you can search for the answer on. Removing some of the github repos for this is really not going to solve that problem. But that's not really cheating. HackerRank is used to test programmers during recruitment, and I don't know a single programmer that doesn't search for an answer when stumped with a difficult question. Hell, it's Best Practice - why waste time thinking up your own (probably flawed) answer to a problem when there's an entire internet full of working solutions? As any experienced programmer knows, "google-fu" is an essential skill for a commercial coder. They should be giving points for "minimum number of searches needed to find a solution" on HackerRank, instead of trying to stop solutions being available. The problem here, really, is that using HackerRank as anything but an educational toy is universally stupid. But that would involve explaining difficult things to HR people, and that's a difficult problem that we can't search for an answer to.
