The ACSU will hold a programming contest sponsored by Morgan-Stanley and Amazon.com!
No RSVP required, to enter the contest simply show up.

The contest will run from 1-5 pm in Upson 361. Prizes include 3 PSPs, 3 DS Lites and 3 iPod shuffles. Of course, Pizza will be served.

Following is the format of the competition.

Format:
* The competition will last four hours.
* The competition will consist of 6-8 programming problems.
* Contestants may program in C, C++, or Java.
* Contestants may refer to the C, C++, or Java API, but no other reference sources are allowed.
* Submissions will be judged either correct or incorrect.

Competition Categories:
* The competition is open to both undergraduates and first and second year graduate students.
* Contestants will compete either as individuals or in teams of two.
* Undergraduates may compete in either category
* Graduate students may only compete individually.
Scoring:
* Scoring is based primarily on the number of problems solved.
* Ties are broken by penalty minutes.
* When you submit a problem you accrue a number of minutes equal
to the number of minutes since the start of the contest.
* Each incorrect submission adds 20 penalty minutes provided< that the problem is eventually submitted correctly (if the problem is never submitted correctly, you do not receive the penalty minutes, but neither do you receive credit for the problem).

Prizes:
