- How to submit a solution for evaluation
You heard the word CodEx (The Code Examiner: http://codex3.ms.mff.cuni.cz/). As you might know, all the tasks of MT talks are designed in CodEx system. This page serves as a guide for newcomers who has little to no experience with CodEx.
How to get a CodEx account
Before venturing your journey though all the tasks, you need to get an account. There are two options to obtain an account in CodEx

How to pick, solve and submit solutions
After joining a group, you are able to see all the exercises assigned to that group. Explore a exercise by clicking on its name. There are three options: read the specification, submit a new solution and manage old submissions
