The ACM contest this year in on Nov. 6th. We will take 4 teams to the Duke University Site. There will be practice sessions weekly and a couple of local competions before the contest.

• Any one can participate.
• We have room for 12 students, 4 teams. One team is generally reserved for freshmen.
• The teams have not been selected.
• Historically, the freshman team has yet to fail me. They always score at least one correct solution.
• Each contestant should attempt to solve as many problems as possible between now an the contest date (Oct 25th). Any problem, not previously solved from the International Web site is a valid problem. Report solutions to Dr. Hightower or Mr. Shore. We will maintain the solved problem list below.
• A contest site that maintains a problem set from past ACM ACM-ACPC Live Archive. Goto the North America - Mid Atlantic region. You will need an account here as well.
• Here is another programming contest practice site. Log-on and try out Problem #1.
