CodeChef SnackDown 2017

Hey Brilliants, today I bring up the good news of CodeChef's biggest online programming competition SnackDown 2017. Sorry that I've been too late to let you know, as the Qualifier round starts tomorrow, 20th May. But you can register until 24th May!. So I wish I could describe the competition informally (which I always love to do), but as the clock is ticking like the pro, I'll just go with the official announcement along with some quick facts to provide you with an intro and let you explore the rest yourself. −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−------------------------------- SnackDown is a multi round programming competition open to anyone with a knack for programming. Hosted by CodeChef, the competition was started in the year 2009.

The aim with SnackDown is to pit the finest computer programming brains from different parts of the globe against each other, under one roof in India. SnackDown also provides a unique opportunity for the top programmers of the world to get a flavour of India and at the same time let the Indian programmers meet top global programmers in flesh and bones.

The competition is open to everyone including the middle and high school students as well as working professionals, virtually having no formal eligibility criteria. Also, SnackDown 2017 isn't restricted to team participation only. Which means, "You can perform solo in this year's SnackDown!

SnackDown had a humble beginning with the inaugural edition of SnackDown witnessing participation from 639 teams of 3 members each taking part in the competition. Since then the contest has grown by leaps and bounds, with every subsequent edition triumphing its precursor. Today, SnackDown is being considered to be one of the most coveted onsite competitive programming titles across the globe.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
