Opportunity brief
Bug Squash is a fast-paced debugging competition where participants must identify and fix bugs in given code snippets within a tight time frame. The challenge spans three increasingly difficult rounds — testing syntax knowledge, logical reasoning, code efficiency, and time management. Teams of two will compete to squash the most bugs in the shortest time. Strategy, focus, and precision will be key to conquering the final round and claiming victory!
