The competition is divided into three sections: the Leonard Hofstadter-section where participants solve several small projects and one large project which requires technical skill, possibly using a graphic user interface, a data base and internet programming; the Sheldon Cooper-section in which participants solve a number of small projects and a few larger projects which test their reasoning skills and implementation of solution methods; and the Howard Wolowitz-section which is for beginners and those who are interested in learning about programming.
