BrainScan 05

BrainScan '05 was a contest conducted by the Computer society of Anna University(Comp-Soc). It combined all the usual puzzles - it had anagrams, sudoku, cipher, how stuff works, everything! There was a prelims consisting of around 78 questions.Check out the Brain Scan Prelims Paper . Eleven teams were selected from all the participants. Hari and I participated and got through to the finals.

The finals consisted of solving about 25 questions within 2 hours. There was a crossword also - but with a twist, the places where the answers went were not specified! We skipped the crossword but finished almost everything else within the time limit. We compared with the other teams and found we had done reasonably well. We were expecting to finish in the top three.

The results came yesterday - we had won! We got a beautiful cup and cash prizes to boot!
