Google Hash Code 2018

• What we'll do
Hash Code is a team programming competition organized by Google. You pick your team and programming language, we pick a Google engineering problem for you to solve.
Are you up for the challenge?

For each round of the competition Google will present a problem and your team will write a program that generates a solution. Your team can submit as many solutions as you'd like using the online Judge System, and a live scoreboard will let you know how you stack up against the competition. Top scoring teams will win cool Google prizes, because of course you can’t host a programming competition without something to work for! Past problems can be seen at https://hashcode.withgoogle.com/past_editions.html

Hosted at Farset Labs, the event is the Online Qualification Round. The schedule looks like

1700 The countdown begins!
You will receive an email with instructions for the Online Qualification Round, including how to access the Problem Statement and how to view the YouTube Live Stream.

1730 The task is announced
We will introduce the competition and explain the task through a YouTube Live Stream.

1745 The competition starts!
We’ll release the problem statement as a PDF file that can be downloaded from the Judge System. You’ll be able to submit your team’s solution through the Judge System at any time, and a live scoreboard will be available.

2030 The live scoreboard freezes
To increase suspense and make the end of the competition more exciting, the live scoreboard will freeze. You’ll still be able to submit new submissions until the deadline.

2130 Time's up!
The Judge System will accept submissions until Thursday, March 1st 22:30 CET sharp. A few minutes after the submission deadline, we’ll join you again via YouTube Livestream to walk through the problem and possible solutions. We’ll also release the final scoreboard on the Judge System so that your team can compare its achievements with others. The final results will be announced by 6th March 2018 and all teams who have qualified for the Final Round will be notified then.

• What to bring
The only thing you need for the Online Qualification Round is a computer connected to the Internet. We will announce the problem through a YouTube Live Stream, please check that your computer is able to play YouTube videos beforehand. The Judge System will be available as a web application, compatible with recent web browsers. For the rest of your computer setup, you're free to use the tools and programming languages of your choice.
