*Edit* Building off of Ahri's post above, the contest is simple in the sense compared to recent ones because there's no requirement to understand any sort of programming, or code breaking really. It's mostly finding new ways that haven't been recycled to solve problems. However I do think it will pose a challenge because of that.
