Hello everyone!



Felicity, the annual festival of IIIT Hyderabad, brings to you
Felicity Threads 2014, the tenth annual edition of the celebration of
spirit of computing and engineering. We bring to you a wide range of
online contests in various fields of programming and mathematics. Our
series of online events includes contests on algorithmic programming
(Codecraft), parallel programming (Kernel Cruise), combinatorial
search and game playing bot design (Strange Loop), and a CTF-style
security contest (Break In).

Our first event, Gordian Knot, a Project Euler-inspired contest full
of mathematical problems, starts TODAY at 1600 Hrs (IST), and will run
for atleast a day. Being a mathematics and computing contest, Gordian
Knot challenges you to come up with solutions to problems and untangle
complex yet elegant knots, using any methods and computational tools
at your disposal.

The only prerequisite to participate is the urge to learn. Let us
learn and rejoice the spirit of computing and engineering together.

There are exciting prizes for the event too!

So let the mathematician inside you come out and to know more about

Sincerely,
Threads 2014 Team
