Google India Code Jam 2005

Do you have exceptional programming skills? Can you make computers perform like silicon puppets with cleverly crafted code? Are you at ease when faced with a hard deadline and a group of peers scrutinizing your work? Here’s your opportunity to demonstrate the art of Computer Science in a reward-rich environment. Google is looking for engineers with the programming skill to rewrite the world's information infrastructure. The Google India Code Jam 2005 is one way we hope to find them. While we don't impose arbitrary deadlines on our engineers, we do put a premium on well-implemented code. And we appreciate the thought process required to create it. In fact, we appreciate clear thinking in all its forms, from puzzle solving to chess mastery (one of our engineers is an International Grand Master).

The first prize is Rs.3 lakhs. Although people 18 years or older are eligible to recieve the prize, age is not a limitation for registration, which is free.

Oooo.. I'm 17. C++ and Java. :-( No Visual Basic? I'm confident of winning this event if they permit VB. Don't know why VB is looked upon with such reproach.. the only two idiotic problems with it are: i) Windows-Based ii) No straight method of creating pointers. A very roundabout manner. Pointers were not meant to be there. Someone figured out a way.

Since none of us can participate, lets get the questions and have them as the exercises in the March Workshop.
