    The Standard Edition will be HashCode style: one optimization problem, several input files. You can write your solution in any language and you must submit a valid output and the original source code. No time limits for solutions.

    The Teen Edition will be Codejam style: five problems with five levels of increasing difficulties. You download an input file and must submit a correct output file in few minutes.

    As it happens in the Google Hashcode and other team-based competitions, beside single person skills, we would like to spread team building and collaboration skills.

    Just add 3 random people and get (in case of winning) 4 prizes instead of 1. Feels like there's no sense in teams of less than 4 people with such rules
