Overview
ProjectEuler+ is an online contest hosted by HackerRank that turns the classic Project Euler style of mathematical puzzle solving into a scored, automatically judged competition. Solvers work through problems that mix mathematics with algorithm design, and every submission is checked against concealed tests within a set time limit — a correct but slow solution will not clear the bar.
What separates it from a typical weekend hackathon is its length. The contest opened on July 7, 2014 and remains open until August 5, 2027, so there is no single weekend to block out. You can register, pick a problem and work through it at whatever pace suits you, provided you finish before the closing date.
It sits alongside the other challenges HackerRank runs and is aimed at anyone who enjoys hard problem-solving — programmers, mathematicians and hobbyist puzzlers alike. This is a skills and leaderboard exercise rather than a funding programme: no money changes hands, and what you take away is practice on problems that demand both numerical insight and efficient code.
Everything happens on HackerRank's own contest page, which is also where registration takes place.
Highlights
- Hosted by HackerRank as an online competition
- Open from July 7, 2014 to August 5, 2027 — solve at your own pace
- Each problem carries a maximum score of 100
- Hidden tests and time limits mean efficiency is scored alongside correctness
- No cash prize — the reward is practice and leaderboard recognition
- Open globally, with no age, location or team-size restrictions
Who can apply
ProjectEuler+ has an open-door entry policy — it is available to participants worldwide.
- Age: No age restriction applies.
- Location: Solvers from any country can take part; there is no residency, state or region requirement.
- Teams: There is no limit on team size, so solo entrants and groups can both compete.
- Experience: All skill levels are welcome, and no prior competition experience is needed.
- Background: The contest is built for programmers, mathematicians and problem-solving enthusiasts.
The contest runs entirely online, so the practical requirement is simply an interest in solving mathematical and computational problems.
ProjectEuler+ on HackerRank — Global Math & Coding Contest is open to startups at any stage. It is open to startups registered anywhere in India.

Deadline & timing
Applications for ProjectEuler+ on HackerRank — Global Math & Coding Contest are open and the current deadline is 5 Aug 2027. Deadlines can change — always reconfirm on the official source before submitting.
What the funding covers
ProjectEuler+ is not a funding programme and carries no cash prize. The value on offer is skill-building and standing on a public leaderboard, not capital.
What participants actually get:
- Scored problems — every problem has a maximum score of 100, giving a clear measure of progress as you work through the set.
- Judging on correctness and efficiency — concealed tests plus a per-problem time limit mean a working solution still has to run fast enough to earn full marks.
- A self-paced timeline — the contest stays open from July 7, 2014 to August 5, 2027, so attempts can be spread across months or years.
- Leaderboard recognition — performance shows up in the contest ranking, which is a useful way to demonstrate problem-solving ability.
- Global access — entrants of any age, in any location, working alone or in a team of any size can join.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is ProjectEuler+?
It is an online contest hosted by HackerRank that brings Project Euler-style mathematical and computational problems onto a competitive platform. Each problem is judged automatically, with concealed tests and a time limit, and you earn points for solving problems correctly and efficiently.
Who is eligible to take part?
Everyone — the contest is open globally. There are no age limits, no location or residency requirements, and no restriction on how many people make up a team. Previous competition experience is not needed either; the contest is pitched at programmers, mathematicians and problem-solving enthusiasts of every level.
Is there any prize money?
No. The contest does not offer a cash prize, and nothing is invested in participants. The reward is the practice itself, the feedback from automated judging, and any leaderboard recognition your scores earn you.
What is the deadline for ProjectEuler+?
The contest closes on August 5, 2027. It opened on July 7, 2014, so the window is unusually generous — you can join at any point before the closing date instead of racing a short application deadline.
How are solutions scored?
Each problem has a maximum score of 100. Submissions are run against hidden tests within a set time limit, so marks reflect both whether your answer is correct and whether your code is efficient enough to finish in time. A slow but mathematically correct solution can lose points.
Can I participate as a team?
Yes. The contest places no restriction on team size, so you can work solo or with others. There is also no age or location requirement attached to participation.
Do I need to be an experienced competitor to do well?
No. Prior competition experience is not required, and the contest is open to all skill levels. What helps is comfort with mathematics and algorithmic problem-solving, since the problems combine both.
How do I register for ProjectEuler+?
Registration happens directly on the HackerRank contest page at https://www.hackerrank.com/contests/projecteuler. Once you are on that page you can sign up and begin submitting solutions.
What kind of problems will I be solving?
Mathematical and computational challenges in the Project Euler tradition — the kind that need both numerical insight and well-optimised code. The contest is tagged around problem-solving, algorithms and mathematics, and is delivered online through HackerRank.
Does ProjectEuler+ on HackerRank — Global Math & Coding Contest take equity?
No. ProjectEuler+ on HackerRank — Global Math & Coding Contest is competition and is non-dilutive — the provider does not take an equity stake in your startup.
Is DPIIT recognition required for ProjectEuler+ on HackerRank — Global Math & Coding Contest?
No. DPIIT (Startup India) recognition is not listed as a mandatory requirement for ProjectEuler+ on HackerRank — Global Math & Coding Contest, though having it can strengthen your application and unlock other benefits.
Who offers ProjectEuler+ on HackerRank — Global Math & Coding Contest?
ProjectEuler+ on HackerRank — Global Math & Coding Contest is offered by HackerRank. It is provided as non-dilutive funding.
How do I apply for ProjectEuler+ on HackerRank — Global Math & Coding Contest?
Apply directly through the official application link on this page. Review the eligibility criteria and prepare your startup documents before you begin.
