Problem: Anybody should be able to sign up regardless of their name. However if a student is called Taylor Swift, pressing the submit button no longer works.
To reproduce:
- go to sign-up page.
- enter a group size of 1
- enter any student ID and the name "Taylor Swift"
- click submit
Possible cause: we reserve the value 5461796c6f72205377696674 in our database to indicate "no student". However by complete coincidence this is exactly the value of that the string "Taylor Swift" is mapped to when converting to hexadecimal.
