Hello Codechef Community!

Greetings from DJ Codestars, the official Coding committee of DJ Sanghvi College of Engineering.

We are back with a very unique and interesting coding contest: CONSIZE, a 2-hour long Code Golf contest!! Here, participants will be given 2 hours to solve 6 problem statements, with increasing difficulty.

The twist here is that, the score you get is inversely proportional to the length of your code!

To make things even more interesting, the problem statements will be themed around your favorite Netflix shows. Stand a chance to win super exciting prizes, goodies and subscriptions!

  4. Make sure you’ve registered before taking part in the contest or else your score will not be considered on the leaderboard
  5. The scoring system revolves around the length of your code. The shorter the code the more points you get as long as your code passes all the required test cases. Tabs, newlines and spaces don’t contribute to character count.
  6. You can submit solutions as many times as you’d like, there are no penalties for incorrect submissions. Only your best correct submission will be considered.
  7. The final decision for judgment will be taken by the committee members. No arguments will be entertained. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. If we suspect anyone of doing so they will be immediately eliminated from the contest.
