The Hacker Olympics is a unique event that combines elements of hackathons with other activities, where teams of five compete to solve a series of challenges within a limited time frame. The event takes place in London on May 24th, 2014, and registration is now open. Challenges may include coding tasks, physical puzzles, or creative endeavors such as balancing plastic cups or playing old Nintendo games. This year's events are tailored to the local tech scene and British culture, offering a fresh twist on the traditional Hacker Olympics experience. With limited space available, teams should register quickly to secure their spot.
