The Brainteaser Battle is a puzzle contest, where you will work with others to solve puzzles that feature a unique blend of quantitative reasoning and out-of-the-box thinking. More challenging than your typical sudoku, and more fun than your typical math problem set.
This is a team-based event with 3-4 participants per team. Sign up as a full team, or sign up as 1-2 participants and we will assign you to a team. Free food will be provided! Spots are first come, first served.
Please email Cass Tu (Cass.Tu@sig.com) to register for the Brainteaser Battle instead of registering through Handshake.
