Phew!
The past few months at CodeChef sure have been some of the more hectic ones around. The team has been running at max loads trying to keep things in check, but we have had our fair share of issues.
There have been a few things that have kept us going though; things that we refer to as strengths amongst ourselves. And YOU GUYS rank at the top of the lists. From suggestions to bug spotting, the patience and support has been exemplary. This is why; it’s a round of applause for each one of you’ll from us!
Speaking of Applause, the announcement of the winners of both our contests in September, our September CookOff and the September Challenge, have been due for some time now. But before the names are revealed, it is time for some Contest Stats. The numbers behind the CodeChef Contests have been growing at a healthy pace each month.

We’ve got many more contests and challenges lined up for you and we’re hopeful that there’ll be a new list of names in the editions to come. To help you along in your quest, the problems from this round of contests are now available in the practice section. So do have a go at them as you prepare for the one’s to come.
It’s that time of the post where we bid adieu. But before we ask you’ll for your precious feedback, here’s to our talented team of problem setters, problem testers and editorialists. These guys sure have our deepest gratitude for their efforts in keeping the CodeChef flag flying high, come rain or shine!
So, that’s it folks!
Cheers,
Tanmay
