How do I win a CodeChef Goodie?

lakshgupta · June 26, 2017, 9:07pm

You can simply earn laddus and redeem those for the CodeChef goodies.

You need to win contests for prizes. I mean you get some “Laddus” with which you can buy goodies for free.

I am new here. Is there a different ranklist for Indians or if Indians come first they get the prize money?

Thank you.

@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)

Hi, have the prizes for march challenge been distributed ? I have received nothing yet. I last time I got something, it was very quick.

Isin’t it taking very long this time ?

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?

isn’t the codechef laddu distribution too harsh in div2 long challenge. it should be the same as div1 i suggest.

Hello, I ranked fifth in the recent February Cook-Off 2019 Division 2 and by admin’s response to this question, 50 laddus are awarded:

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?

Thanks

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

Just wondering how much djdolls would have collected until now

pankaj_chopra · May 27, 2017, 2:36pm

@admin , How will we know about the 5 randomly selected participants for the Random Laddus prize category?

vijju123 · May 27, 2017, 4:33pm

If i am not wrong, the “goodies” are now replaced by laddus.

godslayer12 · May 28, 2017, 7:50pm

Do we get response on reporting a bug whether the bug is inconsistent or was invalid ?

tung1x45 · May 29, 2017, 9:23am

Or you can ask someone to give you one

ps_1234 · August 10, 2017, 4:09pm

Please bring T-shirts in stock.

anushi · August 10, 2017, 5:26pm

I think we should also get a Codechef Sticker with a goodie

vijju123 · March 2, 2018, 11:04pm

The main incentive of this is to discourage Div1 school students from purposely falling to Div2 for prizes. I will forward it to see if numbers can be adjusted.

lokesh2002 · March 3, 2018, 3:00pm

Ok , still what are people going to do with 100 laddus when u get 300 laddus in div 1 and u re performance improves.i Guess those who do that are madY
