To register, click "register" in the navigation bar on the left side.

To go the problems, click "problems" on the left hand side.

The BYU ACM did not author the problems in this contest, though they verified that each could be solved. If you have trouble, look at the bottom of the problem page for any hints.

Email acm@byu.edu with any questions. We won't give extensive help via email. If you have multiple questions, please come to programming team meetings Wednesdays at Noon in Sports Lab Room 1029 TMCB.

You are invited to use online resources and friends for general help (vocabulary, algorithms, examples, etc.), but do not copy code or solicit excessive assistance.

For some questions (language-specific questions, etc.), the SPOJ forum may also be helpful. This contest will end midnight February 21, 2013.

For your submission to be judged correctly, you must meet the following requirements:

In C/C++, the main() function will be called. Take input from stdin / std::cin and print your answers to stdout / std::cout.
In Java, the main(String[]) function will be called. Take input from System.in and print your answers to System.out. The name of your class must be 'Main' for it to compile.
If you wish to use other languages, you'll have to find out what the stdin/stdout equivalents are.

Purpose:

To encourage ACM members to enhance their programming skills by working on a myriad of programming problems and incentivizing their hard work.

Prizes:

Solve 8-10 problems, and win a Hoodies
Solve 4-7 problems, and win a $10 gift card.

Additionally, all participants who solve at least 3 problems will be featured at acm.byu.edu/new with the number of problems solved.

Any participants who solve all 10 problems will be granted the title Algorithm Ninja by the BYU ACM. You will receive an Algorithm Ninja T-shirt, and be recognized on the BYU ACM website.
