Quora Programming Challenge 2021

Quora, an American tech-company, is hosting an algorithm contest with cash prizes.

About the Challenge

At Quora, we work on difficult programming challenges on a daily basis. We wanted to share some of the interesting problems that we work on. Thus, we drew inspiration from real-world challenges in our product, systems, and machine learning applications to create an interesting set of algorithm problems that we hope you’ll enjoy.

Divisions

In order to accomodate a wide range of timezones, we will be holding the contest in two divisions. Each division will have its own unique set of problems and a separate set of winners and prizes. Participants can join one or both divisions. The divisions will be held at the following times:

  • Division 1: Feb 6 2021, 14:00 to 18:00 (UTC + 00:00)
  • Division 2: Feb 7 2021, 01:00 to 05:00 (UTC + 00:00)

Prizes

Top place finishers in each division will be awarded the following prizes:

  • 1st place: $2000 USD
  • 2nd place: $1000 USD
  • 3rd place: $500 USD
  • 4th to 10th place: $200 USD
  • Top 50 places: Quora T-Shirt

Participants who score well may also be fast-tracked through our interview process, if they are interested in roles at Quora.

Rules

  1. You may participate in one or both divisions of the contest.
  2. After you register, we will send you the login information for the contest platform before the contest date.
