perplexed!
Perplexed! is an online programming contest which tests the knowledge of language C. Its a fun filled contest where a costlier code in terms of time and memory may be rewarded more points just because it follows the given constraints like use of less keywords and tokens as mentioned in the problem statement. The aim is to help people understand the depth of the language C.
Its a 12 hour event where you need to keep a close eye on the score board till the last moment. Your improved code will not only improve your score but may also decrease the scores of others.
