Wo0t.
F1rst p0st place!!!
(not that there was any doubt now, was there)?
AUS came 1st, 3rd and 5th overall, with U of Wollongong in 2nd and Etisalat (who have traditionally come in first) down in 4th.
Meaning it's off to the African & Arab regionals in October.
It was interesting. Immediately before the contest started (on both days of competition) we had some religion student go up and do a Qur'an recital for 10 minutes (to bless the contest or something? I dunno). Whatever. Beyond that it was pretty straightforward. A bunch of geeks working their collective asses (or brains, as the case may be) off, trying to write some programs to answer arcane questions that no-one in the real world really cares about anyway.
But whatever. It was fun. If you were one of those geeks :-)
Uh... yeah, that's it. No content to this post, just me gloating. Nothing to see, nothing to see, move along now.
