Also I like to mention a special thanks to Pratik Moona, Raziman Tv and Uttakarsh Lath for providing a good problem set (having a whopping 17 problems!!!) and working day in and day out to make this contest a big success. A big round of applause for them.

We hope to host many more such contests. So what are you waiting for? Want to host a contest? Drop in an email to contest@codechef.com.
