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 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 Sep/22/2017 15:30 UTC. 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 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 :)
