2020 Humblefool Cup Announcement

The fourth edition of the much-coveted Humblefool Cup is here. In 2019, the defending champion praran26 again gave his best to win the 2019 Humblefool Cup Medal. 

Topcoder and the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Allahabad are excited to bring back the fourth edition of Humblefool Cup Algorithm Match in fond memory of Harsha Suryanarayana (humblefool).

Harsha is considered to be the best coder India has ever produced. A Topcoder member since 2005, humblefool – as he is known within the coding community –  was a TCO Finalist twice. Up until his tragic death in an accident in 2014, Humblefool was at the top of his game in SRMs and personally trained and motivated many other members.

The Humblefool Cup is organized every year to preserve his legacy and contribution to the Community.
