Programming Olympiad held for more than twenty years in different parts of the world, the Olympics-style math, physics and the like, hormones nerd butt, come on. In 2010 took place in Canada and the 23 th edition will be held in Thailand. This past year, 315 participants competed in 83 countries, in both individual categories of equipment.

Among last year's problems were included:
1 - Cluedo: Designing the most efficient code to solve a game of Cluedo with 6 people, 10 locations and 6 weapons. Winner: 22 lines in Pascal.

2 - Languages: Given strings 10,000 randomly selected from the Wikipedia, to create a program to identify what language they are written. Winner: 227 lines of code, with an efficiency of 85 percent shooting.

3 - Labyrinth: Designing a program that draws mazes of various sizes and degrees of complexity.

4-Bandwidth: Finding the shortest path in a transport network with thousands of cities linked by some central nodes. It is a problem of great complexity of these often solved only an approximation to the optimal solution, unless the network size is reasonable and you have a supercomputer handy.

Programming languages are official match three: Pascal, C and C + +
