The main aim of the Code Jam from its inception is to bring together professional and student programmers from all over the world to solve tough algorithmic puzzles. Last year there were 35,000 participants from all over the world and Poland’s Jakub Pachocki (meret) earned the Code Jam Champion with a prize money of $10,000. This year champion will be earning $15,000. ie., more money for solving much more tougher algorithm. The winner will not only just walk with the prize money, but also earns a direct entry into the Code Jam 2014 finals to defend his or her title !

There would be 5 online rounds, and those who pass all these rounds will be tested in the world finals at Google’s office at London, United Kingdom this august. Here is the Complete Google Code Jam 2013 Schedule after the break.
