Greetings to you all!

Note that CodeChef’s April Cook-Off is on a Monday this month instead of the usual Sunday. Also, this Cook-Off will use new cloud-based checkers, about which you can read here.

I take the opportunity to invite you to this 2.5-hour short contest. You’ll have 5 problems to solve and the best performers will be treated with Laddus redeemable for cool CodeChef goodies!

We will also be hosting a live problem discussion session on Tuesday (21st) from 5pm to 7pm IST on Zoom and Youtube Live, where our panelists, teja349 (Teja Vardhan Reddy) and RestingRajarshi (Rajarshi Basu) will discuss the Cook-Off problems. If you’re interested only in the hardest couple of problems, join in at 6pm. You can book your spot here.

The problem statements of the contest will be available in English, Hindi, Bengali, Russian, Mandarin, and Vietnamese.
