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 Perplexed — the constrained programming event. The questions here will bend your mind in different ways — this is not your normal coding contest! After all, tackling various kinds of situations and challenging constraints is what makes programming an art :) 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 9 PM, 22nd September to 2 AM, 23rd September. 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!
The prize distribution is as follows - 1st (Overall) — INR 20,000 2nd (Overall) — INR 12,000 3rd (Overall) — INR 8,000 1st (India) — INR 7,000 1st (IIT Varanasi) — INR 3,000 To be eligible for the prizes you must be registered for the Perplexed event on http://codefest.tech/dashboard/events/. Innovate or stay perplexed!
