We'll update in a day or two to keep up-to-date regularly as we get closer to crossing the finish line.

July Contest: Just a Few Hours to Go


Everyone has until 11:59 PM PST this evening to submit solutions for the contest!

With these results, I want to note that though not everyone can win the contest, we appreciate and value ALL of your hard work. We're still blown away by those who have significantly increased their productivity and especially those who have turned in 200-300 solutions at a time. It's great to see people getting the hang of things and being successful, all in the name of helping students! That's what we're all about.

Now if you'll excuse us, we have to cut some extremely large checks for y'all.
