Join us for a friendly competition for programmers and problem solvers with free food and prizes!
The competition is to solve, in a group of four people over three hours, problems from the Project Euler website. You can come with friends or team up with people at the event. The available problems are listed in order of difficulty, and we will award separate prizes for beginners who tackle the earlier problems, people who tackle the intermediate problems, and people who tackle the later, more mathematical problems.
