mathmania
Mathmania is a mathematical puzzle contest where a sound knowledge of mathematics together with computational thinking will be essential to solve problems. Here, programming is just a means and not an end; it is mathematics which will lead you to an efficient and quick solution.
The motivation behind Mathmania is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.
We would like to acknowledge ProjectEuler for the concept.
