The Challenge
The Evident Challenge consists of a variety of code- and math-based questions and puzzles that vary in difficulty. Each question has a different point value and is related to the work we do at Evident. The answers will be evaluated by a panel of experts who will look at criteria such as the quality of the code and architecture. The challenge will take place in GitHub. Each participant will have one week to complete the challenge and can change or modify their answers as much as they like during this period. Only the final submission when the challenge closes will be evaluated by the judges. |
