The Challenge
🏝️ Your research vessel hit a storm. You’re stranded on a remote island. The only thing that survived the wreckage? A laptop running the Community Edition of KDB-X and some mysterious data links.
Each day, you’ll face a new survival challenge, and data analysis is your only lifeline. Can you make it 5 days? Can you find the signal you need to be rescued?
Join our survivors’ slack channel to ask questions, share progress and build together throughout the week.

How the challenge works
The challenge runs for five consecutive days.
Each day, a brand-new coding challenge will be released at 9am GMT.
If you complete the challenge within 24 hours, you’ll be entered to win that day’s prize.
Participants who successfully complete all five daily challenges within the week will also be entered to win the Grand Prize.
You can participate as an individual and complete as many days as you like, but completing each challenge within 24 hours and all 5 within the week gives you six chances to win.
Hint: There will be resources within the Topic Materials in each challenge that will help you with concepts and functions required each day.
