# Win your spot for CODE100 at WeAreDevelopers World Congress by solving the "hearts and minds" puzzle

**By:** [Chris Heilmann](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/@chris-heilmann)

**Published:** June 15, 2025

[CODE100](https://code100.dev) is coming back live to the [WeAreDevelopers World Congress](https://worldcongress.dev) and here is your chance to earn your place on stage to show thousands of people your coding skills.

The [Hearts and Minds](https://puzzles.code100.dev/puzzles/hearts-and-minds/) challenge asks you to take [this HTML document](https://puzzles.code100.dev/code100/puzzles/hearts-and-minds/hearts-and-minds.html) which results in the following:

We ask you to tell us:

- How many of the hearts ❤️ and how many of the minds 🧠 are straight? (“straight” means they point fully up, down, left or right at a straight angle)
- How many minds 🧠 are on the left side of the bunch?
- How many hearts ❤️ are on the right side of the bunch?

[Submit your solution using this form](https://share.hsforms.com/112g51PxHS6mRE9oxgcxdHg2a0i0), tell us who you are and how you solved the problem and you can soon be on stage!

As always, you can use any programming language you want. And no, ChatGPT isn’t a language…
