This contest is intended for participants of the Python course ran by AstraZeneca's code club (though other AZ collegues are invited to participate too). We've spent several weeks developing our Python skills and it's now time to utilise them to solve a wide array of puzzles.

The contest is composed of twelve challenges (and one warm-up challenge) getting gradually more difficult as the competition progresses. You have until the end of December to solve as many challenges as you want to be considered for the leaderboard (and hence prizes) although the contest will remain open after this for fun.

Once the competition is closed, we will release model answers to the problems as well as walkthroughs explaining how one might have come to such a solution. Furthermore, we will show off how our test-setter wrote their code, showcasing what makes code truly 'Pythonic'.

If December is not quite here, make sure that you sign up to register your interest. Otherwise, what are you waiting for? Let's get coding!
