Queen's Internal Programming Contest 2001 Here is the official announcement . The contest was held on Saturday, February 3, 2001. Thank you everyone for participating. The winners, by final score, are: First Place Chris Wolfe Second Place Chris St. John Third Place David Tausky The winners, by academic year, are: First Year Gary Linscott Second Year Chris St. John Third Year Chris Wolfe Fourth Year Jeremy Hussell Contest Problem Set, Solutions and Test Data, and Final Scores Problem Set Solutions (in C or C++) and Test Data Final Scores I have to admit that I was mean: almost all submissions of the first question (Fractions) should be "correct". I followed the practice of the ACM programming contest that there are always traps for seemingly easy questions. Note that the solutions were not written in a good programming style. In programming contest (like the ACM programming contest) no one will care about your style, as long as it works perfectly! We thank Nortel Networks for sponsoring our internal contest this year. Queen's Internal Programming Contest 2000 The contest was held on Saturday, January 22, 2000. Thank you everyone for participating. The winners, by final score, are: First Place Travis Gagie Second Place Bob Durie Third Place Jeremy Hussell The winners, by academic year, are: Second Year David Tausky Third Year Jeremy Hussell Fourth Year Travis Gagie Contest Problem Set and Solutions The contest problem set can be found in here . I have to admit that the questions are tricky. So do not be discouraged if you cannot answer them, especially when you will need some knowledge used in higher year computer science courses (like question one). The solutions in C, and the test cases that are used to test the correctness of your programs, can be found in here . Note that the solutions were not written in a good programming style. In programming contest (like the ACM programming contest) no one will care about your style, as long as it works perfectly!
