Urgent. Host Cheating: Problem and Solution.

Sure you can. Just set it to host on a schedule, so that it will host at time X, where X is 2 seconds from now.

Maybe it's more of a logic puzzle than anything, like the question of how to get the cannibals and the missionary across the river with only one 3-person boat. And you could say, "Don't go to the Amazon rainforest in the first place", and while that's a good answer, it is not very helpful to missionaries.

It's more like the two doors guarded by two guards: One door leads to a great treasure, the other leads to certain doom. The two guards are politicians. One tells half-truths, the other dodges questions. What do you ask them?

Having a way for a host to be beyond suspicion is, IMO, necessary.

So find a third-party host. If you can think of a method to secure a host locally, I can think of a suspicion.
