Participants embark on a problem-solving journey through two challenges hidden in QR codes. The first QR reveals a Python Debug task where teams analyze a buggy program, fix the errors, and determine the correct output. The output provides a clue to the next challenge. The second QR presents a Tech Riddle/Puzzle, such as scrambled logos, ASCII art, or witty riddles. Both solutions form the first part of the final code.

• Teams must consist of 2–3 participants.
• Teams must solve the Python Debug challenge first.
• The output of the Python challenge must be used to proceed to the next challenge.
• Teams must solve the Tech Riddle/Puzzle.
• Both answers must be combined to obtain Part 1 of the Final Code.

Fastest team to correctly complete the round.

Qualified teams will scan a QR code containing a Logic Gates challenge. Teams must apply digital logic concepts through truth tables, simplified Boolean expressions, or circuit analysis to determine the correct output. The resulting answer forms Part 2 of the Final Code. Teams then combine Part 1 and Part 2 to derive and submit the Final Password at the desk.

• Only teams qualifying from Round 1 may participate.
• Teams must solve the Logic Gates challenge independently.
• Truth tables, Boolean expressions, or circuit analysis may be required.
• The Round 2 answer forms Part 2 of the Final Code.
• Part 1 and Part 2 must be combined to obtain the Final Password.
• The Final Password must be submitted at the designated desk.

Among teams with the correct Final Password, the fastest submission will rank higher.
