Just wondering, if anybody knows how many people were present last year. I might have a go (better than having nothing to do).

Has anyone gone before? Have anybody ever completed the 2003 questions at all?

I went. As a non-programmer at that point most of the questions were handled by my team members, but I helped by thinking up logival solutions (without figuring out actual code).

It's quite good ...

I think it was last year or the year before.
But UNSW did very well in the Oceania region for ACM.

It was TODAY (Wednesday).

Yep it is. The questions are somewhat harder than last year's too, but the problem which I suffered most is that I never used unix console before, and did not know ifstream or fopen functions for c++ (grrr)

Luckily this guy helped me on it, so I handed in one question, which prevented me from being the worst achiever

1 question is nothing to be ashamed of ...

Actually it was equal second.
