===========================================
A Second Contest This Month
===========================================
We wanted everyone to get a chance to try their hand at the CodeChef SnackDown problems. So we have scheduled a team based contest on 24th January with the 8 problems of the SnackDown final round. It will be a 5 hour contest that starts at 21:30 Indian Standard Time. Since CodeChef users (our snackdown finalists) have already had a chance to see these problems, we will not be having prizes for this contest. You will be able to register for the contest here <http://www.codechef.com/teams/register/SNONLINE>, and the contest will be available at: http://www.codechef.com/SNONLINE/. We hope you have fun!

Topic of the month - Introduction to Game Theory
===========================================
Overview
"A lot of interesting problems can be based on the theory of impartial games. The problems usually involve each player playing optimally (that is, trying to win) on each turn. We discuss one such problem in this month's tutorial <http://www.codechef.com/wiki/tutorial-game-theory>. "
