Welcome to the Da Vinci Series!

The road from here only gets tougher. Only as a team, can you crack the challenge and win this race against time.

RULES:

Before you begin the challenge, make sure you are completely thorough with the rules as an entire team. Breaking the rules will lead to disqualification of the team from the challenge. Let's be honest. Breaking rules, isn't really cool.

1. Proceed as a team. The objective of the challenge is to ensure that you work together with others to overcome the challenges as fast as possible. 

2. Team leaders represent. Due to the total number of participants, it is mandatory that any communication from a team has to be made from the team leader. Any questions/queries/issues need to be asked by the TEAM LEADER ONLY in the main hall. 

3. Complete the entire challenge. In order to proceed ahead, you would need to complete the previous challenge first completely. You need to ensure that you fully complete a segment before you move onto the next part.

4. Final Challenge. The final challenge that you need to complete requires completion of a specific task (that you will find out about later). You need to ensure that you complete the task with 100% accuracy. If the facilitator does not find it satisfying, you may be asked to REDO it. 

5. Be competitive, but be fair. To keep the competitive spirit alive, it is mandatory that you do not indulge in unfair practices. Don't cheat! (Come on, this isn't a Class 11 Physics exam.)

6. password in lowercase. The downloadable documents are protected by passwords that are in the lowercase font without any spaces. Only when you crack one challenge can you proceed to the next.
