CS50x Puzzle Day
Do you like solvable problems? Us too! Work together with friends and colleagues on a set of logic puzzles at our locally hosted CS50x Puzzle Day event and compete against other teams across the world! This event is open to all ADM+S members.
CS50x Puzzle Day is an event organised by Harvard University’s introduction to computer science course, and features logical puzzles that do not require computer science knowledge. In 2024 more than 11,000 people registered from 164 countries; you can get more of the stats here.
