About

Welcome to the Equinox Programming Challenge, a competition for Wisconsin high schoolers. This competition includes 22 problems and you have 3 hours and 45 minutes to complete as many as you can.

Each problem gives you a set of input, as described for each problem, and you must create a program the processes that input to give a specific desired output.

The problems start easy, but get harder. The team that completes the most problems will win, so feel free to skip a question and come back to it. Later problems, which are harder, are worth more points.
