Delta Inductions 2007

After a grueling session of interviews from 10 am in the morning to 3 am at night, we finally selected 16 people into Delta.

My enthusiasm of working in Delta has surged recently. So I scheduled a meeting for the newly inducted very early, i.e: the next day itself.

So today we had our first meeting. I had this ppt to show it to them. I had planned a neat prank. We started with taking the oath of the 10 commandments of Delta, (the 10 was in Octal base because I could only cook up 8). I explained them the hierarchy of the delta team, and then gave them very tough CPC questions alongwith 10 algo questions to solve in 20 minutes. The last question of the paper was to actually write a search engine, including the crawling, indexing, ranking and querying algorithms. Finally, I dropped the bomb that it was all a prank.

Then we had introductions and lots of leg pulling. :)
We gave them Harry Potter themed pamphlets too :P

I had thought of more serious issues to discuss after that, but we ran out of time, so we went to the gate dhaba, where we get tasty (but not very hygienic) food.

Got loads of snaps and videos. Check them out here.
