The Event

Perplexed! is the constrained programming event of Codefest'16.

It is an innovative programming competition which aims to test the ability to optimize a solution to a problem based on different constraints. This individual event will be a live contest of 3 hours. For each problem, the solution will have to satisfy a unique set of tight constraints such as memory limit, time limit, character limit etc.

Prizes worth ₹60,000/- up for grabs!
Kindly note that in order to be eligible for prizes, you need to register yourself at our website and make sure you provide your Hackerrank handle in the update profile section.

Rules

  • Please refrain from discussing strategy during the contest.
  • All submissions are run through a plagiarism detector. Any case of code plagiarism will disqualify both users from the contest.
  • You can also code using our interface, which currently supports over 40 major languages. Learn about our environment and time limits here. If you are not yet familiar with our platform, check out Solve Me First to acquaint yourself with I/O.
  • HackerRank admin decisions are final.

Scoring

  • Each challenge has a pre-determined score.
  • Your score for a problem depends on the number of test cases your submission successfully passes.
  • A participant's total score is the sum of the scores earned for each problem attempted. If you submitted more than one solution for a problem, only your highest score achieved will be used in this calculation.
  • Participants are ranked by score, with the cumulative time taken (between the contest's start time and the time of your correct submission) used to break ties.
