Rules and Guidelines
1. Sequential Flow
- Linear Path: Solve problems in order ($P1 \right arrow P2 \right arrowP3$). No skipping.
- Unlock Key: You must show the exact expected output to a proctor to receive the next problem definition.
2. Environment & Tools
- Tech: C Language only. Bring your own laptop, pen, and paper.
- Libraries: Standard only (stdio, string, math, ctype).
- Fresh Start: No pre-written code, no GitHub or USBs. Start with a blank file.
- Platform: Coding platform will be provided by us.
3. Integrity (Zero Tolerance)
- Offline Only: No internet, AI tools (ChatGPT), or documentation sites.
- Silent Mode: No talking to other participants. Phones must be OFF and in bags.
- Anti-Cheat: No hard-coding outputs. If the logic is missing, the score is zero.
4. Winning & Scoring
- Goal: Solve the most problems within the 60-minute limit.
- Tie-Breaker: If scores are level, the student who finished their last problem earliest wins.
Evaluation Criteria
The websites were evaluated by a panel of judges based on the following criteria:
- Final Word: Judges' decisions are final. No appeals.
- Logic Audit: Judges may ask you to explain your code. Failure to do so results in disqualification.
- Disqualification: Proctors may remove any participant for plagiarism or unauthorized communication on the spot.
