You can find all the information about the various events being held in Orion here.

Do participate and have fun!

Pritesh Desai from SE COMPS has won 'Online Treasure Hunt'. The second prize is still up for grabs.
The next person to finish the Online Treasure Hunt OR the person who finishes the highest number of questions at the end of the stipulated time will get the second prize.

Pritesh managed to complete the event by 7:00 AM on Sunday. At that time his 'closest' competitor was languishing on question number 24.

Pritesh agreed to give tips to other contestants.

He said, "The most important thing to keep in mind is that, the answers of the question are right there in front of you. You just have to find proper keywords and search them using any Search Engine, Google being my personal favorite.

The questions of the kind where you are given 2 pictures and, are told to find the relation between them are the most cumbersome, because there can be many different ways in which the images could be connected, but you can never be sure which relation has been used, by the one who has set the questions.

There were times when I was unable to answer the particular question despite trying for several hours. In such situation, I'd suggest you take a break for a while before continuing.

Also I'd like to thank my mom for, without her I wouldn't have won Online Treasure Hunt."

Congrats Pritesh!
