CALICO is a globally recognized coding competition organized by UC Berkeley, sponsored by:
- AlgoVerse AI Research
- MIT IT
- Berkeley Engineering
This competition brings together top coders from universities like the University of New York, Tsinghua University (China), University of the Philippines, Russia, and many others.
The problems were carefully designed to be AI/LLM-proof, requiring pure human intelligence and problem-solving skills!
- Team Name: Runtime Terror
- Ranking: 86th Worldwide ๐โจ
- Solved Problems: โ 7 hard and tricky problems
- Competition Duration: ๐ 3 intense and thrilling hours
- Collaboration: We connected via Google Meet at 4:20 AM PKT for live strategy and coding!
