+We are a group of coders of all ages, passionate about problem solving and algorithms. Together, we created MindCoding, an online platform where anyone can learn algorithms and test their skills. Join us, teach yourself new things and have fun!
+<p>
+Our website provides a problem list with an online evaluation system, which means you&#39ll find out on the spot if your solution is correct. We support a wide rande of programming languages, allowing all programers to participate, regardless of their technical background. <b>Read from stdin and print to stdout.</b>
+<p>
+If you take part in our coding competition (which we strongly recommend!) don&#39t forget to check out our standings and see how well you did compared to your friends.
+<p>
+Put your mind to work and code!
+
+<!--
+Mind Coding wants to gather the students passionate of Computer Science, regardless of age and background and offer them the chance to collaborate. Contestants will have the opportunity to get in touch with Cluj-Napoca’s employers, and also to scrutinize the facilities of studying at “Babes-Bolyai” University. During the online round, the students may establish contact with employers through banners and sponsored problems. At the final round, officials of universities and companies from Cluj will hold presentations and will directly communicate with students. Mind Coding endeavors to reward the elite of Computer Science’s students and attract them to Cluj-Napoca in the near future. Furthermore, Mind Coding wants to create a large community of enthusiastic students, attempting to establish strong connection between Romanian peers.

+<h2>MindCoding National Competition - First Edition</h2>
+<p>We are happy to announce the launch of MindCoding, our fun and challenging national programming competition! It doesn&#39t matter if you have a job, you&#39re a student or you&#39re still in school, what really matters is your passion for problem solving.
+<p>
+Join our community and have the opportunity to learn new things and make a name of yourself! Are you passionate about a certain technology? Do you need a team for working on a project? MindCoding will help you make new friends who share your interests.
+<p>
+The first online round is this Thursday, on the 30th of January. We hope you&#39ll join us!
+<p>
+You will have to solve 4 algorithmic problems of various difficulty levels, and they will be scored based on their level and your problem solving speed. In order for a solution to be considered correct, it must pass all of our tests. We strongly recommend getting used to our platform by solving a few warm-up  <a href="/pb/">challenges</a>.
+<p>
+Good luck and have fun!

+<h3>MindCoding - Rules</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Each round will consist of 4 algorithmic problems.
+<li>Your final score will be calculated by adding your scores for all the problems in the round.
+<li>After submitting a solution it will be evaluated on a few pretests and you will be able to see your result for that given test set.
+<li>At the end of a round, the solution will be evaluated on a set of tests. If it doesn’t output the correct answer for all the tests or it exceeds our memory/time limit for at least one test, it will be scored with 0 points.
+<li>Each problem will have a maximum score between 1000 and 100, depending on it’s difficulty.
+<li>The maximum score you can obtain on a problem decreases as time passes after you’ve read it.
+<li>In order to decide whether your solution is correct, only your last uploaded source file will be taken into consideration.
+<li>If the contestant wishes to resend a solution for a problem, the problem’s maximum score will decrease by 10%.
+<li>Each problem will have a minimum score under which the score can not decrease, no matter how many solutions a contstant submits.
+</ul>
