The LexMACS (Lexington Mathematical CS) club is proud to announce our second annual Lexington Informatics Tournament! The contest window lasts from July 15 — July 19 EDT, and participants can begin their 3 hours window at any time. If you are interested, please visit our website at https://lit.lhsmathcs.org/. Once you register, you can see all the past problems on the contest page. Some of our problem-setters include codetiger927, eggag32, SuperJ6, and eyangch. Special thanks to testers Savior-of-Cross and plourde27 as well!
LIT consists of two separate rounds: Standard and CTF. Teams may participate and win prizes in both. The Standard round is similar to USACO and CodeForces, where you are given 8 algorithm problems and 3 hours to solve, with difficulties ranging from D3 to D1. The CTF round will rely on contestants’ knowledge of computer security and general problem-solving skills to complete challenges and locate a "flag" for each.
Participants may form teams of up to 3 members! Everyone is welcome to participate in the contest regardless of nationality and age. However, only those currently in middle school or high school are eligible for winning prizes.
Awards
While we currently do not have the complete list of prizes yet, our current prize pool is worth more than $6000! In addition, all top 50 participants will be able to receive a Wolfram|Alpha Notebook Edition, each valued at $72.
For more detailed and latest information, please join our Discord Server and visit our Website. Registration will remain open up until the end of the contest window.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to DM the organizers in the Discord Server, or email us at [email protected].
Hope to see you soon!
