Rules
Select one of the three challenge flavours (sub-challenge) :
- Software engineering flavour
- Network & Infrastructure flavour
- Cybersecurity flavour
Each sub-challenge has a different set of questions and a majority of questions in the flavour topic!
You can participate in more than one sub-challenge!
Scores calculation :
You will have to give the correct answer to 15 questions in maximum 10 minutes!
- A good answer gives you 1 point
- A wrong answer or skipped answer results in a score of 0
You can skip questions and come back to the skipped questions later.
Time counts!
Not everyone has the same questions, or the order may differ, so there's no point in trying the quiz several times or doing it together.
Results
At the end of the online phase of the challenge, you will receive the details of your score and ranking privately. As a result, participants can't share the answers.
In case of a tie, the timeframe to answer the questions will determine the order in the leaderboard.
The 25 best scores among all participants (the 3 sub-challenges combined) will be invited to participate in the final at Cisco in Diegem on 29/02/2024 at 18:00. Only the finalists present at the final will win a prize.
