@admin,@vijju123 i fell just top 3 school students in long challenge div 2 is low, i think top 5 might be better due to no of school students in div 2 is much higher when compared no of school students in div 1.
just a suggestion(atleast for indian school students)
This is with regard to the 100% participation. Will unrated contests like March Lunchtime 2018(LTIME58A) be taken into account for that category?
I wanted to participate in it, but as it was postponed I thought would do it in the practice section. So will my participation streak be reset to zero or not?
For obtaining 100% attendance participation reward, can a user’s participation streak start from Cook Off or Lunch Time?
Or will it start from the beginning of the month, i.e., Long Challenge?
For Example:
If a user is participating regularly from June Cook Off 2017, then can he get 100% attendance participation reward for June Cook Off 2017 to June Long Challenge 2018?
Or will he get it for July Long Challenge 2017 to June Lunch Time 2018?
Does this mean that user is eligible for cash prize only if he has been in the Top 2 in past?
Or he will get equivalent extra laddus for this?
And if a user has been in the top 2 in div2. And then in the top in Div1 because is not a first timer so he is eligible for cash?
Division 2:

IN MONTHLY COOK-OFF CONTESTS
...
For Global participants
Top 5 from ranklist will receive 50 laddus. Additionally, they get bonus (Bonus = n - contest rank) where 'n' is 6 for short contests.
However, there are no laddus present when I go to the CodeChef goodies page: Screenshot - 01cf162ba3d3021588599dc591e1f436 - Gyazo . Is this a bug, or is there a delay, or am I misinterpreting the prize description?
I got India Rank 3 in Feb 2019 Long Challenge and also my rank was 3 in Top Challenge Scorers in the same contest, how many laddus will I get? 300 or 600
