Hi, Codeforces Community!

Codefest'17 — a diverse roster of high-quality programming competitions by Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Varanasi is excited to present Mathmania — the mathematical puzzle contest.

The contest will take place at HackerRank (https://www.hackerrank.com/mathmania-codefest17 ). This contest will be an individual event with a duration of 3 hours, from Sep/23/2017 15:30 UTC.

It will bring a delectable collection of problems which will be an absolute delight for all the mathematics geeks. Cash prizes worth INR 50,000 will only add to the intensity.

Although mathematical insights and tricks will be crucial to cracking the challenges, programming will be your way out for the full solution. :)

Prizes -

1st (Overall) — INR 20,000

2nd (Overall) — INR 12,000

3rd (Overall) — INR 8,000

1st (India) — INR 7,000

To be eligible for the prizes you must be registered for the Mathmania event on http://codefest.tech/dashboard/events/.

Come on now, programming is a bit stale without mathematics. Accept it with enthusiasm, or accept it grudgingly — but you cannot run away from this one!
