It's back to school time and that means it's time for another year of the DWITE programming contests!

We have updated the DWITE website with the dates and times for the DWITE rounds for this school year. Teams may now register through the TeamCP (or their Teacher may sign them up through the TeacherCP). Remember that you will still be in your old teams from last year by default and will need to leave your old team if you want to make or join a new one.

This year we will be having 8 rounds (4 per school semester) as apposed to the classic 5 rounds. We feel that this will allow students in semestered schools that have their Computer Science class in the winter term to have a chance to participate as well.

Note that there will be no rounds in September or February.

I like the 7 stars, Dan. I believe in a couple of years, the stars will spill over onto the post (unless it continues on the next line).

About DWITE: Nice! I am looking forward to another year of DWITE (not to mention my last one...)

Huzzah! Time to think of another super-long team name! And I can stack a team now (I doubt there will be enough peeps for 2 teams this year)

Has Hanson graduated yet? I really was rather put off by his always winning (with the exception of the one time he didn't show).

Yep, he's at Waterloo.

btw, insectoid, what's your handle and team name on DWITE?

Trust me, if I can't do this year what Hanson did last year, it will be an awful disappointment. You didn't think it was gonna be that easy, did ya?

Of course, my performance is contingent upon the nature of the problems and test data. Notice that when that annoying problem with packing stuff into boxes showed up on the contest, Hanson didn't actually win (he was 9th I believe.)

@analysis mode, I had the longest team name last year, written in obfuscated pearl.

edit : speaking foolishly out of anger, no disrespect meant.

Going as an individual team, I am O(2^n!)

Why are you putting the average time complexity of your code in your team name saltpro?



ZING!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

It was originally O(2^n), a joke directed toward the fact that DWITE test data is so pitifully weak that such a complexity will often pass.

Although, O(2^n!) becomes ridiculous for n > 4, so the joke is somewhat ruined. (You'll get partial marks, though...)

That's ok, feel free to zing the code master who taught you dynamic programming Wink
