I’m writing this post to give a heads-up about a UK-wide Java competition, for professionals and students, that’s happening right now.

50% chance with your jokers

The Java Challenge UK is a gamified online challenge, running over six weeks.
It works like this: you get 15 minutes to answer a maximum of 17 multiple-choice questions. If you run into trouble, you get three “jokers”, giving you a 50/50 chance of picking the right answer, you can choose to see what the other contestants answered, or you get to call a friend to help you out!

So, it’s a fun chance to test your skills and to compete against other Java lovers to become the champion. What’s also fun, though, is that you get the chance to fight for some quality prizes; the first prize, for example, is a £800 flight voucher, valid on over 300 different airlines

You can enter the challenge, and get more information on the awards and rules, on the official challenge page.
