2006 Fall Programming Contest Results
Our annual fall Programming Contest was held on Sunday, October 8, 2006 in the Fitzpatrick Hall Linux Cluster. The contest was run in a PC2 environment using Knoppix boot disks on HP machines. The contest lasted three hours, and participants were limited to completing problems in this time frame. Points were awarded for the number of questions solved, and more points were awarded for solving a problem in a shorter amount of time.
The final standings can be viewed here. The contest instructions and problem set are available on the programming contests section of this site. Based on the contest results, past experience, and programmer availability, Jeff Smith, Dan Dugovic, Chris Fallin, Eric Riedl, Joey Schmitt, and Nick Schott will represent Notre Dame in the ACM Regional Programming Contest on November 11, 2006 in Ashland, Ohio.
The ND Fall Programming Contest was administered and judged by Jeff Smith, Computer Club Secretary Emeritus, and Dan Dugovic, Computer Club Vice President, with help from Nick Schott, Club President.
Programs were graded based solely on output; no attention was paid to comments in the code, using good programming practices, or the actual code at all, for that matter.
