Flemish programming contest

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

On March 17th, 2010, Ghent University organises the second Flemish Programming Contest, in collaboration with the universities of Leuven, Hasselt, Brussels, and Antwerp.

For three different categories of participating teams (of at most three participants), we offer five problems that need to be solved in three hours. The goal is to have at least one fairly easy and one quite hard problem for each category, but as we all know, a problem is only hard when you do not see the solution. So YMMV. Still, we aim to have each team solve at least one problem. For this, teams can use any one of twelve programming languages: C, C++, C#, Haskell, Java, Pascal, PHP, Prolog, Python, Ruby, Scheme, and VB.NET.

Programming should be fun, but to add an extra incentive, we have up to €2500 in prizes. So, without further ado, head over to the contest website and register.
