+If you have any questions please email zceepvb@ucl.ac.uk. Please keep in mind you cannot make a submission/be eligible for the prizes if you do not attend any of the universities organising this event. Within the 7 day period this event is being hosted, any university Engineering society is free to reach out to collaborate at this email address.
-All files are meant for KiCAD v10.0, if you have not updated, you probably should. It is a much better version than KiCAD v9.0 (includes dark mode).

1. **Logic Deduction**: deduce the digital logic function implemented by the provided schematic, purely from the schematic itself (no functional description is given). Deducing this will give you bonus points.
2. **PCB Layout**: design a fully wired, single board PCB implementation of that logic, optimised for the smallest possible board area, within the design constraints below.
+This challenge will be running for 7 days, **until midnight of October the 19th.**
