  "content": "<p>I doubt that the leaderboard is not giving correct feedback about whether a submission makes an improvement. \nI’ve made several submissions and it seems that if the two decimal score of my submission made just now is the same with my previous one, LB will simply say that there’s no improvement. Even if the one I made just now has potentially some score of 1.2000 but the previous one was 1.2099. \nI’m saying so because when I check «&nbsp;my submissions&nbsp;» and sort all submissions by score in descending order, the one I made just now is indeed at the top. \nSo you can check in «&nbsp;my submission&nbsp;» section instead of LB for improvement within 0.01. As you know at this time even improvement within 0.01 is not that easy.</p>",
