A. The competition is for teams of 3 tertiary students who try to solve computer programming problems over 5 hours. The full rules are shown on the ACM web pages. There are also local rules for our region. Each team has one computer and 5 hours to works on the problems, usually 8 or more in number. Languages available include Pascal, C++ and Java. The team solving the most problems in the least time is the winner.
