Instruction

Participants are requested to bring laptops

Team Size

2 members

Description

Round 1

Participants will be given a set of two questions, each containing an expected output. Their task is to analyse the given output and write the correct code that generates the specified result.

Round 2

Participants will collaboratively solve three coding questions, but with a unique twist—each member will take turns coding without direct communication. However, they can earn communication time by completing additional tasks.

Rules

For Round 1

1. Each team will receive two questions with expected outputs.
2. Participants must reverse engineer the logic and write a program that produces the exact given output.
3. The language choice is upto the participant’s wish.
4. Code should be submitted within the time limit.
5. Teams must not use AI-generated code or external help.
6. Failure to follow these instructions will lead to direct disqualification.

For Round 2

1. Each team will be given three coding problems.
2. Turn-Based Coding:
   • The first team member will code for 5 minutes, then swap.
   • The second team member will continue from where their teammate left off for the next 5 minutes.
   • This cycle repeats for 30 minutes (i.e., each member codes three times).
3. No direct communication is allowed between team members during the swap.
4. Communication Opportunity:
• The non-coding team member can earn a 1-minute discussion period by completing a given mini-task.
• If they win the task, they can communicate freely for 1 minute before resuming coding.
5. Failure to follow these instructions will lead to direct disqualification.
