July 18, 2008 at 11:23Qualification Round Google Code Jam 2008
Google Code Jam is a programming competition in which both professional programmers and students have to solve rather complex algorithmic problems and at the same time meet within a limited time frame. Everyone can use their favorite programming language and OS.
Google Code Jam starts in July and ends in August and consists of 3 online rounds. Top 500 participants will go to the next stage - a competition at the local Google office. The finals, which will be held at Google’s main office in Mountain View on November 14, will feature the Top 100 Local Round Winners.
The detailed rules of the competition have probably already been read by those who solved the problems of the qualification round yesterday.
The qualification round lasted 24 hours (from 03:00 a.m. July 16 to 03:00 a.m. July 17, UTC + 4). You could log in at 3 nights to see the tasks, then solve all day and send your decisions at night. The rules are detailed.
3 tasks were proposed (Saving the Universe, Train Timetable, Fly Swatter). By the way, now you can solve them slowly - they are available to everyone.
