Wait, what?

A few years ago, two UIUC undergrads (David Tan, Benjamin Juang) enjoyed an annual event called PuzzleCrack during the ACM R|P conferences. They found they really liked solving puzzles and when they discovered that there wasn't going to be a PuzzleCrack for ACM R|P 2011, they decided they would try their hand at running their own puzzle contest.

PuzzleBang 2011 was pretty awesome, so David and Ben are back to entertain you again this year! This time, there'll be more prizes, better puzzles (hopefully), and more fun!


tl;dr: Here be puzzles. Fun is mandatory. If you're not having fun, please tell us!
