It is only conceivable to select one title from a Dropdown Menu. A couple workarounds would move for the user to manually copy in many options in a college assignment help Dropdown it seems like this is not better for you due to identifying patterns.

CodeChef Programmer of the Month (2009)

CodeChef has some quite interesting and quirky questions in their Programmer of the Month interviews. So I thought I'd re-highlight them although they stopped doing it a while ago.

Some fun highlights are quoted below:

I’d definitely be watching a movie or some sitcom. I am a big movie buff. I frequently (on weekends or on some occasion skipping classes) take a day out watching movies/show on a full trot. I, along with my friends, have planned numerous night outs where we continuously watch movies and then sleep throughout the day. - Anshuman Singh on What do you do when you're not programming?

This is going to sound a bit repetitive after Anshuman and Varun, but make that three in a row for Harry Potter; maybe there’s a connection between programming and magic? 😉 . I’ve always found...

My experience with ICO prep series #1

Yesterday night I went to the nearby cyber cafe to attend the first programming contest of my life. But I had to complete the contest in 1/3 time as the cyber cafe was about to get closed by 9:00 p.m.(Don't have PC at home, this I am writing from my school lab.).

Made a new codechef account for the same purpose, settled myself on a computer with 20 mins to go for the contest.

The wait ended and and the problems flashed on the screen.

Started the first problem with full excitement. The problem was set by Udit Sanghi, and the problem statement started with something bad about schools(What else did you expected) which on one go I understood it is unsolvable for me, atleast in the given time constraints. Went for the another problem "Ant in a Box", Ahhh this was the problem I came for, but the genius inside me thought that following formulas are same

P(E) = sqrt(l^2+b^2+h^2)
