ProjectEuler+ on HackerRank — Global Math & Coding Contest — Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
