As reported by RT this Moscow club held a ‘Hackathon’ to see which participants could hold their focus.

Lucky Lee, owner of the club, is reported by The Sun as saying:

The goal of the hackathon is to put a programmer in very difficult, critical conditions.

One would need to develop a prototype programme despite the fact that there are beautiful girls around.

The winner was reportedly offered a job at ‘Golden Girls’ along with a dance credit.
