- Accept the Challenge: Accept the challenge by creating an account. In your account, you will be presented with one question every day starting April 5, 2021. Answer the question correctly and you will pass to the level and qualify for the next question, which is presented the next day.
- Complete 21 Levels: Once you have answered all 21 questions correctly, you will receive the boss level question. The first 21 questions are written in Python, but cover concepts across languages. The boss level question can be completed in Python or JavaScript.
