bhuvnesh jain’s editorials were too good last time , much detailed , well with top 50 getting their expenses curtailed , its going to be a mega one. Probably the participations will be much higher then other cook-offs

@likecs Laddus for school students? I think laddus are not given ‘only to’ school students in cook-offs.

Loved the problems. Its not easy to give something which makes you think that much, shakes and excites you to that extent. Especially p2 and p3. I can still feel the excitement when I got AC after ruling out “-1” in p2…

Loved it <3

Simply Beautiful set of exciting problems to rule out the best…

Loving it…
