A word on cheating, online bees, and Sahasrad Sathish
Hello, I’m back with a little update from a few days ago. As many readers saw, what appears to be the real Sahasrad Sathish visited the blog just a day after his unbelievable victory at SASB nationals; at issue being the fact that many literally didn’t believe what they saw. I openly stated my position as being on the fence, and viewing the best path forward to be Sahasrad himself being given a chance to speak for himself and explain the situation. As he is not a speller I have any real connection to as of yet, I wasn’t sure whether he would even see the invite (much like Shradha Rachamreddy prior), but fortuitously, he was quick to take the opportunity to clear the air. While his visit was briefer than I’d like, and frequently marred by trolls (that I swiftly dispatched with as they filtered in), a lot of productive material came out of the interaction, in which I authorized some community members to politely question him in the comments. Although he spent a not-insignificant amount of time being rightfully irritated with the trolls, as any innocent party would be, he also provided insights on how he studied, what material he had covered to prepare for SASB, and how he knew some specific examples form his word set, among other clues and hints. Perhaps most convincingly, he personally verified my hypothesis that spellers with imbalanced word knowledge may be successful at SASB without having consistency at the lower levels, which also explains unexpected performances from spellers like Shradha and Yash Shelar. The end result is that I would estimate most of the community believes him now; I have no reason not to believe him, barring the unlikely condition that this was an impersonator account. Although it remains no less stunning than it was originally, Sahasrad is now widely recognized as the genuine SASB champion, which was exactly the intention of offering him this platform. This entire incident, however, has many a moral to be taken away from it, so I want to do a deeper discussion on the themes we encountered throughout this short saga. Hopefully there is something to be learned from the ordeal.
Cheating: Having said everything I just finished saying, cheating has definitely not been a phantom problem in the virtual bee era. Accusations may get thrown around too carelessly at times, but that does not mean at all that there isn’t a real issue at hand beneath all the noise. There absolutely is, and that’s precisely why there remains such paranoia around strange-seeming performances. However, I have observed that whenever such a claim has been levied against a speller of generally decent repute, it has never managed to come to any fruition. My sense after all this is that reasonably accomplished spellers are generally to be trusted, and if they suddenly break out with something that seems above their means, it’s probably legit, either a sharp turn upward in skill that later turns out to be sustainable, or simply an isolated stroke of fantastic luck. To illustrate the point, I’ll run through every significant cheating controversy that I can recall over the past couple years, list the speller, event, approximate Elo rating at the time of the incident (as a proxy for prior accomplishment), and what ended up coming to light in the end. So without further ado, I present to you:
A History of Major Cheating Claims, 2020-2021, and what became of them:
Kavin Elangovan (900) and Srinidhi Rao (925), NSF/AAPI Practice Bee, June 2020 – The notorious “Kavneeth” run, everyone pretty much believed this one at first, actually. It was only after Srinidhi failed to repeat this level of play (although she was usually solid), and then Kavin returning in 2021 at a far lower level than this, when suspicion began to fall on it. It remains Unsolved, but I kind of doubt there’s anything to see here. Probably just lucky.
Riyanshi Kukreja (unrated), SpellGenius 4, November 2020 – We have quite a long stretch before the issue was raised again; mid-2020 was replete with bad bees, but not a lot of sus. This one was extremely weird. A second-grader (she’s still eligible in NSF JSB) whose much older brother got out in round 1 of the same bee somehow kept spelling words like garancine, developpe, and highbelia. Riyanshi has not been seen or heard from since, and while this is still technically Unsolved, I absolutely cannot see the defense for it. If it was real, she’ll utterly obliterate JSB by a ridiculous margin, and then we’ll finally know. Something tells me that isn’t happening. So this may be the first authentic cheating case on record.
Chaitra Thummala (1050), Scott Remer Bee, December 2020 – This incident was bizarre. Apropos of nothing, Scott abruptly attempted to disqualify Chaitra, apparently sure she was up to something. She pleaded her case and said she didn’t do anything, and in the end, he changed his mind and let her go on. Very few onlookers agreed with the perception that Chaitra had even done anything sus. It should be doubly obvious by now that this one was unequivocally False.
Milana Villalobos, Rulan Elhadary, and Christina Monteiro (unrated), North New Jersey Regional Bee, March 2021 – The paragon. Milana was the most obvious case that had been seen to date, and came to serve as the archetype for what to look for when it comes to suspicious behavior. “Guessing” unguessable words? No hands showing? Distracting judges by asking too many questions? Strange clicking sounds while said judges are distracted? It was all there. Finally, took a glorious dive in round 1 at Scripps to sufficiently entertain us all. Rulan was actually kind of stealthy about it for a while, until she let her guard down near the end of the duel; pretty much the same game plan as Milana, though. Christina is the only one that hasn’t been conclusively demonstrated, but there is a lot of evidence to the affirmative, both forensic and circumstantial. I would mark all three wihtout hesitation as True.
5 spellers including Shrethan Botla and Akshay Vandanapu (800), Austin Regional, March 2021 – These guys got 50/50 on the Austin regional test, one on which third-favorite Michael Kolagani only got 42. 7 spellers got perfect, including the zero-percent-sus Akshainie Kamma and Tarini Nandakumar. Shrethan and Akshay later made their presence known with solid performances in SpellPundit 3 the next month (wonder where they’ve been since), so I’m willing to endorse their legitimacy as well. The other three have not been heard of before or since, and I don’t even remember who they are. This is Unsolved, but probably true at least for some.
Samhitha Manukonda (unrated), Seattle Regionals, March 2021 – This one quickly topped Milana for the most glaringly obvious of them all. Samhitha immediately lowered her hands every time Feliks gave her a word, the typing sounds were even more indubitable than Milana’s, and she did the same routine of trying to distract him with questions. If she was trying to hide it, it didn’t seem that way. She actually should have been disqualified on the spot in the first offlist round, but somehow they let her go until about round 6, when she finally got hands called and missed horribly. This bee became infamous for another reason, but this was also outrageous. True if anything in this universe is.
Claire Jung (unrated), Seattle Regionals, March 2021 – This upset divided the community greatly when it first occurred, with some saying nothing seemed amiss except the performance itself, and others thinking there must have been something going on. I counted myself among the believers; she was always circumspect about following hands rules, her questioning and other behavioral patterns seemed to follow that of a normal speller (except she never asked for origins), and there was none of the “Milana signs” that had proved reliable tells. The situation blew up when Claire, like Milana before her, dropped in round 1 of SNSB, something that no Seattle winner who had fought that hard to get there would ever do. That moment shifted the dialogue immediately and greatly in the favor of the skeptics, and I freely admitted that I was wrong. This is the incident that turned the community on to the possibility of “high-tech cheaters”, who never lower their hands or behave strangely, but somehow find a way to fool everyone. The Seattle incident itself is still Unsolved, of course, but literally no one believes it anymore, and they shouldn’t.
Deveshwar Sudhakar (900) and Anvitha Ellanki (unrated), SpellPundit 3, April 2021 – By far the most bizarre data points to come out of a SP event; Deveshwar, a regional winner in 2020 off the benefit of an Ashrita choke, registered a perfect 50/50 on this prelims, whereas the entirely unheard-of Anvitha scored a 49. This info made it into the community by way of a ranking of top scorers posted by SpellPundit themselves, unlike in previous editions of their bees; perhaps they felt this was too strange to keep private. And it was indeed; Deveshwar immediately missed trithemimer in the onlist round, and Anvitha made it past that. but promptly butchered chaussure as “choisseur” in round 2. If you’re going to cheat on a test, you should at least miss a few on purpose to make it less obvious. Technically Unsolved, but it feels like there has to be something wrong here.
Shradha Rachamreddy (1025), SASB Fremont, July 2021 – This is the “Eudeve on a mispron” performance from last month. At the time, it just seemed a little too strange; she didn’t always show hands and prevaricated on a lot of her words before seeming like she guessed them right. The suspicion was not unanimous, though. Shradha followed it up by missing skerry at Wishwin, but then pretty much repeated this by tying for third at SASB nationals. In addition, other spellers also turned in this kind of performance, shedding more light on how it likely happened: good SASB spellers are a different kind of speller from great all-rounders and don’t need to be consistent. The odds are that Shradha’s skill set is just top-heavy, as she didn’t seem sus at all in nationals. The slow, unsure behavior was likely taken out of context, because Shradha has never been a quick speller. Unsolved, and she never did address it publicly, but I don’t think it’s a concern at this point. (*Edit* Solved for the False as of Aug. 15)
Sahasrad Sathish (1050), SASB Nationals, August 2021 – The reason why I’m writing this article. You all know the story; this is easily the most objectively insane performance of any of the ones mentioned here, and from a speller who had routinely missed average CWL/WOW words, it seemed improbable to think he was capable of this. Unlike Shradha, however, Sahasrad did appear to speak for himself very rapidly after his performance, and it appears that the community’s first impression was amiss. He’s given convincing explanations as to how he knew many of his words, and was forthcoming of information whenever asked overall. While I’d love to get to know him better and examine his skills more closely, what he’s said so far is encouraging and he is of course welcome to share more details. This one is quickly trending toward being ruled false, and all the better for it to be. (*Edit* With the news that this “Sahasrad” is fake, this goes back to Unsolved, and should be investigated further)
So what we see here is that, of all the claims made against anyone rated over 900 at the time of the incident, all have either been proven false or are at least more likely than not to be. In fact, other than Deveshwar, all of the ones which turned out verifiably true were completely unrated, and mostly unheard of, prior to being caught. This aligns with what I would expect given my observations of competitive spellers and their outlook on integrity; all of the ones I know are of the type who revile blatant cheaters like the North Jersey bunch. It’s notable that precisely none of the spellers of at least modest achievement on this list were active community members at the time of the claim; if they were, and their general demeanor and word capability hence much more well known to the spectator crowd, they almost certainly would never have been suspected. That includes Sahasrad as well; in pure mathematical terms, Yash would be far more suspect than either Sahasrad or Shradha, but because he is well connected and easy to reach out to, no one really questioned him. If Sahasrad were active in mock duels and such, everyone would have known of his capacity for words at the very upper end of difficulty; it’s not like inconsistent or imbalanced spellers are anything we find inherently uncanny. So, I guess the takeaway is, if you’re looking to activate limit-break mode in an online bee, get to know some other spellers first so they aren’t taken aback when you do it. But the other takeaway is that it’s probably time to stop being so loose with the sus detector when established spellers are involved. They aren’t up to anything, save it for the scrubs.
Online bees: My outlook on this, however, has not changed a bit since Sahasrad made his revelations. I’m eagerly awaiting the day when this era of spelling is done and buried, and almost all major bees have returned to a live stage. That’s not only because there won’t be any more cheaters; what follows from that as well is that we simply won’t have to worry about even the possibility of it. Before 2020, there had been plenty of big upsets and random breakouts (although admittedly none as shocking as this one from Sahasrad), but the notion that they might be illegitimate never once crossed anyone’s mind, because there’s no means of cheating on a live stage. That’s what I’m looking forward to the most as the industry stalwarts return to their classic formats for 2022; virtual bees can remain in a minor capacity, held by the organizations that started off in that format (SpellGenius, possibly SpellPundit), but they will never be of near as much concern or consequence again once live bees are back on a full schedule, and no one will miss it. Every performance, no matter what the circumstances, can finally be appreciated again for exactly what it is right away, without having to go through all the rigmarole of deducing whether it was shady or not. That’s how the spelling scene is always supposed to be. I regret that I never had the opportunity to catch Covid from attending a live bee, and I’m certain that most spellers give precisely as little of a crap as I do. Live bees should have been brought back much sooner. I’d get sick 10 times to have avoided this carousel of chaos.
Back to Sahasrad: As I just insinuated, the effect of this whole mess is that it deprived Sahasrad and his win of the kind of coverage they would naturally receive without any holdup if it took place in a live event. So with the controversy now pretty much passed, let’s use this article to give the occasion the treatment it missed out on initially. I already said that Sahasrad’s 2021 SASB win was easily the biggest upset in spelling since Karthik Nemmani, and probably bigger given the context here. It must be noted that there was no clear favorite heading into this bee, and a general consensus prevailed that none of the spellers would likely be able to handle all that much of SASB’s typical killer-round fare, never mind at the density with which they threw it out in this edition. But, it turned out that there were a few who could – they were simply not the top general-knowledge spellers in the field. Wishwin, which followed established conventions of spelling bee organization much more closely, produced a predictably chalk-filled result in turn. SASB, however, bucked those trends, and although it did so to mostly positive effect, it was a very different kind of product. So perhaps it is not too surprising at all that the favorites went down fairly early on – but nonetheless, it is astounding that the one to take advantage would be Sahasrad, a speller who was of no consequence until late 2020, and took even longer to really become noticeable in SpellPundit 3. He has really only been a major name on the scene for about 4 months, and his growth arc had appeared to be entirely typical of a speller making modest gains up to the low-semis level he turned in at Scripps, then perhaps to mid-semis level, and so on. But the ability to be a SASB winner is pretty much considered the highest step on the spelling skill ladder, and absolutely nothing could have predicted that he had that capacity. Being an actively participating community member would have provided at least an inkling of his underlying talent, but that’s about the only way anyone could have remotely seen this coming. The net effect is the same, though; now that he is over 1200 and challenging for a top-5 spot on the ranking, much more will obviously be expected of him going forward. He can no longer continue to miss things like dejeuner without scrutiny, which are perfectly acceptable for a 1050 but suddenly become rather unsightly for a 1200. Another speller who faced this reality of late is Yash Shelar, and he has continued to meet his ever-increasing rating and exceed it; it remains to be seen whether Sahasrad will do the same, but all eyes are on him now, and the road ahead will reveal exactly what he’s made of. But for now, what we have is one of the greatest upsets in the history of spelling, and it should be celebrated as such just as the exploits of Karthik and other paradigm-shifting moments are. It seems that “Sahasneeth” is real, and it was indeed the most Muralian performance I’ve ever seen in a major event. He may not be complete, but he is certainly something I have never quite seen before. I feel that if one were to combine him with Saharsh to create “Saharshrad”, this fusion may be a speller on par with Navneeth himself, because they seem to be two halves of each other; Saharsh is the all-around expert, and Sahasrad has the killer words on lockdown. Hmm, that’s an interesting idea, actually…
**Update** As a result of a comment the account made below this article under a different name (which will be restored to public view below), it has been determined that the “Sahasrad” account whose comments were cited in this article was a fake. For a more detailed explanation, please refer to the CSSB Recap article. Many of the themes of this piece, however, likely still stand, so I will keep it on the site.
One can accept a certain amount of coloratura, but as soon as it becomes excessive, the device is marked and its uncanny significance emerges.
