The contest consisted of two five-hour sessions. In each session the participants were given three problems packed into small stories. For example, one task involved using virtual ties to mark the way to a safe containing the medals, similar to the breadcrumbs in Hansel and Gretel. To solve these tasks, the participants had to design efficient algorithms and then implement them.
