Hi, Codeforces Community! ↵
↵
[Codefest'17](http://www.codefest.tech/) — a diverse roster of high-quality programming competitions by Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Varanasi is excited to present **Perplexed — the constrained programming event**.↵
↵
The contest will take place at HackerRank (https://www.hackerrank.com/perplexed-codefest17 ). ↵
This contest will be an individual event with a duration of **5 hours**, from [Sep/22/2017 15:30 UTC](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Perplexed+-+Codefest%2717&iso=20170922T21&p1=1045&ah=5). With the creativity that the problems will naturally encourage and **INR 50,000** at stake, there is absolutely no reason for a programmer to not give this one a shot!↵
