PRESENTATION - DIRECTI ON CAMPUS

Note: Although we are visiting the top engineering campuses, we are open to hiring "A+" techies from other streams. Simply attempt a Level 2 or Level 3 coding problem in our Coding Puzzles section and upon a successful submission we will invite you over for an interview with us.

The 5 IIT Puzzle

We dropped 5 lines of code, each line at a different IIT during our Presentations on campus. The Schedule of these presentations was:

  • 5th November - IIT Kharagpur
  • 6th November - IIT Kanpur
  • 7th November - IIT Roorkee
  • 8th November - IIT Bombay
  • 9th November - IIT Delhi

How to Solve?

To solve the puzzle, you have to gather all the 5 lines from each of these IITs and order them and compile/run the code to see the output. The output will be a question which you need to answer. The correct answer to this question is the solution to this puzzle.

The programming language in which the code is written isn't disclosed.

The solutions should be mailed to puzzles@directi.com

What if I solve?

The first person to submit a correct solution to the puzzle will get INR 25,000
