*MIT mirror

The preliminary results of the MIT mirror of Penn-ance saw an MIT team of Cory Smith, Joshua Alman, Neil Gurram, Max Timmons. and Anderson Wang win first after clearing the field. This performance saw sophomore Alman lead the field in powers with a 31/5/2 statline - this immediately raised suspicions, especially as Alman had been suspected of cheating at the 2012 ICT. However, this strong performance was Alman's first performance after the previous ICT and it seemed in-line with his recent improvement.

In March 2013, it was revealed that a security oversight in NAQT's Ginseng software allowed collegiate writers to view questions in collegiate sets; in particular, this allowed them to view SCT and ICT even if they were eligible. Alman was confirmed to have taken advantage of this to cheat at the 2012 ICT, and was soon after heavily implicated in having obtained the packets for Penn-ance beforehand. MIT vacated their win and it was split between Harvard A and Yale A, who were tied by record.
