IEEE Xtreme18.0 was a 48-hour coding marathon collaboratively hosted by IEEE CS ESPRIT and IEEE CS ENSIT, uniting participants in a challenging and vibrant environment. The event began with a lively opening ceremony where both Student Branches introduced their Computer Society chapters, shared cherished memories from past Xtreme events, and outlined competition guidelines. Participants were introduced to the proctors and OC members, who offered support throughout the event, from providing water and coffee to organizing fun breaks with karaoke and card games.

Following the ceremony, a surprise plot twist transformed the event theme from "casino" to "crime and mystery" after an imaginary "crime" was committed in the casino. Participants were tasked with solving the crime using code and clues provided by the OC, adding an exciting dimension to the event.

At midnight, a tutorial was given on using the CS Academy platform for problem submission, helping everyone settle into the competition. Every two hours, participants enjoyed coffee and snacks, keeping them energized as they tackled challenges. Despite the intensity, some participants persevered tirelessly, while others took breaks to recharge.

As the marathon continued into the second day, breakfast and lunch breaks allowed participants to connect, rest, and refocus. The event concluded with a closing photo session, capturing the spirit and camaraderie of the unforgettable weekend.
