Well done all!

But :

* Feel like putting the code on display / downloadable for then 
entries? I'm sure there are UCCans who would like to see the 
handiwork of others and learn something about coding / problem solving

* Shouldn't the attached files have been called something more proper 
like judgingq1.txt (yeah, I'm being a bit pedantic - but its amazing 
the number of problems I see people have all caused by bad file 
naming / extension.)

How about a different format for the next comp?

Say 20 short, fairly trivial programs as part of a timed quiz (who 
ever implements the most in the shortest time wins) - examples 
fibonacci sequence, sorting, string transpose, gcd, etc

You could even have team events.


I suppose the number of participants is the most crucial.

What was the turn out like?

Any photos of the contestants sweating it out?

And imagine a hardware / software comp (all contestants given then 
same stuff, say a shitty 486 and some sort of basic I/O hardware 
interface and a box of meccano with a "device" to build that has to 
do a particular job...)

Just a few musings this morning...
