IITK Programming Club

Takneek Results

Takneek, the annual intra IITK Science and Technology festival concluded on 4/9/11. There were 4 different competitions of the club this time, 3 of which were introduced this year itself.

Kodefest

A 10 hour online programming marathon, was based on the WPC format. It saw some of the best on the campus participate. Like the previous year, it was team spirit again, who led the overall competition with 5 correct submissions. They were the only team who got the problem of Hanoi State right, after repeated attempts. Their solution used to give incorrect answer for just one test case. Also they got problem C within 19 min into the contest which is pretty good.

The final rankings are:

Team spirit (A,B,C,E,F)

Team xor (A,C,D,E)

Team rufferzool (A,C,F)

Team bullseye (A,C)

Congratulations to all the winners.

Blackbox

Blackbox had a huge response from the junta. The prelims had more than 200 students in 103 teams participating. The prelims was a written round with questions in basic C/C++ and some maths. From the prelims, 16 teams qualified for the finals. It was nice to see 11 out of those were first yearites.

Finals was an interesting one. It had six reverse engineering problems, that had to be coded using the code of smallest size. We also tested a new judge ONJ in this contest. The final had the following standings:

Team razimantv

Team arbit

Team zerone

Team funked in c

Team funked in c was a first year team and performed really well. They also secured 2nd highest marks in prelims.

FOSSDev

In this problem an image editor had to be created in using Python modules. All submissions were pretty good, and the participants had put in lot of hard work in implementing different features that an image editing program may have.

karc_warlock's submission was exceptional. 

The results are:

Team karc_warlock - Mridul Verma (10415), Mohd.Dawood (10404), Rahul Kumar (10558), Shikhar Sharma (10682)

Team soul fire - Akarshan Sarkar (10050), Gurpreet Singh Khanuja (10277), Vinit Kataria (10807)

Team sudo terminate - Ankesh Kumar Thakur (10097), Deepak Sharma (10223)

Team _y - Gaurav Gupta (11272), Aditya Tandon (11042), Rachit Nimavat (11466)

Congratulations to all the winners. Hope you keep building up on your application for future.

OOPs

Somehow this competition did not attract a lot of participation. However, it had two entries, so the judging was really to pick one out of those two.
