A
special
results
bulletin
from
ACM
competition
coach Ondřej
Lhoták.
The
fall
Waterloo-local
ACM-style
programming
contest
was
held
this
past
Sunday,
September
27.
This
term,
we
had
a
huge
turnout
of
about
100 competitors,
with
81
submitting
at
least
one
solution.
The
winner
of
the
contest
was
Andy
Huang,
3A
CS.
Runners-up
Antonio
Molina
Lovett,
Jacob
Jackson,
Timothy
Li,
and
David
Choi
also
solved
all
five
problems.
Complete
results
can
be
found
at:
contest
scoreboard.
Troy
Vasiga
and
I
are
in
the
process
of
selecting
the
teams
that
will represent
Waterloo
in
the
international
ACM
competition.
I
would
like
to
thank
Wish
for
sponsoring
ACM-contest-related
activities
at
Waterloo.
I
am
deeply
grateful
to
Edward
Chrzanowski
and
Gordon
Cormack
who
jumped in
to
help
on
short
notice
when
I
was
overwhelmed
by
the
unexpected number
of
competitors.
The
contestants
enjoyed
a
challenging
and
error-free
problem
set
thanks primarily
to
contributions
from
Lap
Chi
Lau,
Volodymyr
Lyubinets,
Geoffry Song,
and
Troy
Vasiga.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
Anthony
Brennan,
Deon
Nicholas,
and
Ingrid Town
for
helping
in
other
ways.
Finally,
thank
you
to
the
contestants
for
participating,
and
for
their patience
and
understanding
of
the
glitches
that
arose
because
I
did
not anticipate
such
a
large
turnout.
