November is a busy month – with the school term reaching its busiest peak and a constant downpour of homework before winter break arrives. I daresay the Lunchtime 2015 held on the 29th of November was affected by this yearly phenomena with the number of participants lower than usual. The ones who did participate had a competitive problem set to go up against which included Black And White Cells, Query over Matrix, Product on Tree and Chef And A Complete Graph. The problem setters for the contest were Amit Pandey and Sunny Aggarwal, problem tester – Pushkar Mishra and the editorialist Prateek Gupta.
