Can anybody tell me what is June Lunch Time 2013 ? I mean what is Contest Duration and number of Questions.
Is it like Long Contest or Short or something in middle ?

will the short contest rating be effected by this contest?

sikander_nsit · June 24, 2013, 11:56am

I don’t think it is an external event because codechef does not have countdowns for the external events. Most probably it will be a rated short event.

rahul_nexus · June 24, 2013, 12:28pm

Will it be a regular event…or it is just for the June month??

balajiganapath · June 24, 2013, 1:02pm

If it is some new regular contest, shouldn’t there be a blog post about it?

kuruma · June 24, 2013, 3:18pm

Some explanations will possibly be provided soon

banarun · June 24, 2013, 6:10pm

I think it is permanent, If you open ‘All contests’ it shows the name as LTIME01, which implies that there are more in future.

It may be a Lunch Time contest … but …( 11am - 2pm ), it looks like it’s a deliberate attempt to delay that sunday’s lunch of all the contestants here .

Why is it so? It could have been set for ( 10 am - 1pm ) or ( 12pm - 3pm )… Any idea guys ?

balajiganapath · June 25, 2013, 7:21am

The codechef guys have their lunch after 2 pm

subhamg · June 25, 2013, 10:34am

12am @sumanth232 you sure?

vinayak_garg · June 25, 2013, 9:10pm

Maybe Lunch Time is a virtual contest – unrated.

Can’t wait for admins’ announcement

ab1234 · June 25, 2013, 9:16pm

my guess admin is going to regular organize weekly contest during lunch time… …To compete with other websites like codeforces, topcoder may be one of the reason…

Just talked to code chef people , they said its a surprise which they will break in a day or two more .

However have a look at the link above , you may win a goodie .

@admin…is it by ne chance a contest for the new section school…that is for preparation for IOI???

viaan · June 26, 2013, 2:44pm

I guess it is for the school kids. Recently CodeChef started Codechef for Schools ( https://www.facebook.com/CodeChefForSchools ),

It may be contest to promote algorithmic online judge coding among the school children who have interest in coding, so that they get a feel of online judges (things like not printing INPUT: enter the number … and OUTPUT:the ans is … ) and get acquainted with online judges.
This is a very great initiative taken up by CodeChef to promote coding and talent in school kids.

And I seriously miss those lunch breaks we had in school.

This is just a guess.

Looking forward to the contest.

The surprise is over… as @viaan , @kunal361 guessed it is for the school students. Very good initiative taken by codechef to promote programming in school level all the best codechef… alt text
