February 4, 2010 at 20:00ACM ICPC 2010
Tomorrow at 5 am Moscow time in Harbin, China, the ACM ICPC'2010 World Championship in Sports Programming will be finalized.
This year Russia is represented by teams of 11 universities:
Two Ukrainian teams also participate: the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” and the Taras Shevchenko Kiev National University , as well as the Belarusian State University team from Belarus.
ACM ICPC is an annual international student olympiad organized by the ACM association. Competitions are held in three stages, and according to the results of semi-final competitions this year, more than 100 teams from around the world went to the finals.
Teams of three people participate in the competition, the team is given 1 computer. The duration of the tour is 5 hours, and during this time each team should solve the tasks proposed by the jury as quickly and accurately as possible.
In each task, it is required to write a program that, after being sent to the jury, is checked on a fixed set of tests. A solution is considered correct only if it gives the correct answers on all tests, and also does not exceed the limits on runtime and memory.
The team that solved the largest number of problems correctly wins. If several teams solve the same number of problems, then their position in the ranking is determined by the penalty time. Initially, the penalty time for each team is zero. For each correctly completed task, the time elapsed from the start of the competition until the task is completed is added to the penalty time. In addition, if a failed attempt was preceded by several unsuccessful attempts to pass the same task, then for each of them twenty minutes are added to the penalty time. For unsuccessful attempts to pass the task, which the team ultimately failed to solve, no time penalty is awarded.
Russia has traditionally very successfully performed in these competitions since the moment they received international status (until 1990, mainly the USA and Canada team participated in the competitions).
Over the past 10 years, teams from Russia have won 6 times, and have also earned 40 medals (19 gold, 9 silver and 12 bronze) for all time. We wish the guys good luck so that this year the results will be even more impressive than before!
Everyone can cheer for ours, the current results will be shown in real time (an hour before the end, the results "freeze" to maintain intrigue)
