Hi, dear friends,

It's a pleasure to announce you that the second MindCoding round for both Div.1 and Div.2 of 2017's Edition will take place on Thursday, March 23. We are currently making every effort for this edition to be a successfull one and you are welcome to join our community. MindCoding is a high-performing international coding competition, structured in 4 online rounds & 1 final stage, that'll take place in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, between 28th-30th of April 2017.

The second round will last 90 minutes and the contest has the same structure as the first round (and the following two qualification rounds), consisting of 4 problems of scores ranging between 100 and 1000 which will decrease in time. We remind you that the total score to be counted towards qualification in the final round will be computed as the sum of each participant's score in all the 1st division rounds they competed in.

If you haven't participated during the first round, you are welcome to take part in the upcoming MindCoding rounds and fight for your spot in the finals! You are just starting out :) ****
