Hey coders!

Are you ready for something challenging? Something adventurous? This year, FLUXUS — IIT Indore & Programming Club, IIT Indore are introducing a new type of contest: the Surprise Language Programming Contest. Here, unlike a regular programming contest, you will only be able to use one language, which will be announced 15 mins before the contest. So be ready to compete, you might even learn a whole new language along the way!

Contest link: https://www.hackerrank.com/surprise-language

Do share it with your friends who are interested :D

Further, we'll be announcing a list of 10 languages three days before the contest on our Facebook event page, out of which one will be the language in the contest.

I Prize: Rs. 1,000 in Cash + T Shirt + Goodies

Next four prizes (2-5): T-Shirt + Goodies

Next five prizes (6-10): T-Shirt

Prizes are only for Indians. But, I hope others will still participate as this contest is more of a fun event than for prizes :)

Finally, don't forget to register at http://fluxus.in/register.php as Prizes are only applicable to users with a Fluxus-ID

Note: Though our aim was to create a contest like SLR's of codeforces, but since it is the first time we are conducting such a contest, it will be a bit different than those contests. Here we will be using fairly common language, and will be more beginner friendly.
