The grading process involves a rigorous review by multiple graders to ensure that the solutions are evaluated accurately and consistently. This review process ensures that the final scores are fair and accurate.

SO if you put No you lying because its not like they have beef with your solutions

problem is when none of the four people who wrote the exact same solutions as aops did all get 0’s on that problem, MAA clearly screwed something up like losing test papers

Yeah, I'm sure the solutions are fair and accurate. I just didn't make MOP because I suck and don't know how to write proofs.
