The results have been declared for the competition.

Deja vu of all programmers. The "Hello World" program. Now its time to brush up your programming skills to do something much bigger.

Its always astonishing to see how those ravishing bits of zeros and ones put in a stipulated order can do such great marvels in the computer industry. Its even more surprising to see how languages which appear to be much similar to our common spoken languages bring about the same effects with the jumble of some keywords and a proper format.

Its the power of programming which has reduced some of the most ambiguous, tricky and impossible looking tasks to a mere job of writing a computer program and asking the obedient machine to solve them with its hasty computing capacity.

Here is your chance. Be ready for some of the most innovative programming problems. Its here that in just 24 hours, you will be simulating some of the major games and practical situations, managing huge databases dynamically, solving mysteries even you would not have thought of.

So, be prepared for the coding extravaganza

Event Description

It is an online programming contest. It will be a 24 hour event where the teams will write codes for solving some of the most tricky problems which have deceived human brains for a long time. Problems based on mathematical intricacies, statistical inferences, simulation of games, real-life situations, and other related stuffs will be uploaded on the site on the day of the competition and the participants have to solve them in the stipulated time. There will also be a limitation on the running time of the codes submitted by the teams.

Interface

There will be an interface using which the teams will submit their codes online and their codes will be evaluated on the same interface.
The interface will be launched one week before the competition, along with some easy practice problem statements so that the teams can get used to the interface.
