24 Hours of Non-Stop Thrill! Insomnia 2015!
Programming and Algorithms Group, and SDSLabs of IIT Roorkee are jointly organizing their flagship programming competition, Insomnia.
Since its inception in 2009, Insomnia has been witnessing an increasingly huge international participation. Noticing participation from some of the leading names of competitive programming, PAG and SDSLabs have amped up the level of the competition from a 12 hour to a 24 hour contest.
This year's problem setters include members of 3Spades, Winner of ACM-ICPC Amritapuri Regional and previous ICPC World Finalists.
The contest will have about 20 odd problems and will last for 24 hours with varying difficulty. Contestants will be expected to submit working code in either C/C++ or Java.
It is a team contest with a maximum team size of 3. The contest will be held on our own personal grader Code Village.
The contest starts at 21:00(IST) on 21st March, 2015.
Update : The prize money of the contest is INR 20,000.

Update 3: Coming into the last two hours of the contest, we see a fierce battle between the top teams of the leaderboard. Even though Yuhao Du is still leading with 17 solved problems, we have Team Believe at second followed by team confused, both with 16 accepted solutions! Team WontGiveItBack is right at their heels with 15 ACs! It is going to be interesting to see how this ends!
