Hello!
Today (20.3.), another monthly Cook-off takes place. It should last for 2.5 hours (21:30 to 00:00 IST) — starting time.
Contest link: https://www.codechef.com/COOK68
There will be 5 problems of varying difficulties — I think they aren't that hard (not for lack of trying on my part), there should be a lot more full scores than last month :D. Feel free to discuss the problems / provide feedback in the comments (after the contest ends).
In order to participate, you only need to have a CodeChef account. If you don't have one, you can register here.
