Although the organizing committee of the competition has taken some measures to prevent cheating, there are still concerns that there may be loopholes in the online closed-book exam. Therefore, the fairness of the competition has become the focus of attention, which also puts higher requirements on the organizing committee to ensure the fairness and credibility of the competition.
