Team Enigma
"The combination of algorithmic thinking and sprinting across campus was unparalleled. We spent 20 minutes debugging Dijkstra while physically standing in the rain at the final checkpoint. It pushed us to our absolute limits!"
Runtime Terrors
"We lost our lead because we forgot a semicolon in the cryptography round, but making up the time during the campus sprint was thrilling."
O(1) Braincells
"Getting onto the podium was incredible. The hardware node reverse engineering completely blew our minds. Best event of the year!"
