CHALLENGE STAGES

STAGE 1

Stage 1 — Team Formation

One participant from each team is assigned as the Guide, and the remaining participants act as Builders in separate designated areas.

STAGE 2

Stage 2 — Problem Distribution

The Guide receives the complete problem brief. Builders work on designated laptops without seeing the statement, and the Guide cannot see the code.
