I took part in my first programming contest today it was fun but very hard at the same time. My team came 59 lol I know its bad but we did well for it being our first time. Makes you realize how much more smarter people are out there then you are biggrin.gif The problems were tough, I had a hard time just reading the questions biggrin.gif. This is an international competition so winners from our region go on to represent us in the world finials. The event is sponsored by IBM. We got free t shirts and food biggrin.gif. It took 5 hours though so I'm pretty beat now writing this.

All you other guys in the rest of the world would be having a regional competition soon too so find out about it at the website or your local university if you haven't already. Its a real good experience even if your not the best you should still have a go. It was great just to take part in something like this.

Scores for south pacific regional.

You can program your solution's in a number of languages they just supply you with problems that have sample input text and you are required to produce an output with their desired results.

Peace
