Congratulation to Poles, University of Warsaw who won the Association for Computer Machinery’s International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM ICPC) world finals this year on Tokyo. Warsaw solved 8 and won the ACM ICPC champoinship again. China got the second place (solved 7 problems) and Russia got third place after solving 6 problems. Congratulation to all those teams. Good luck for all the rest for next year.

There were 6,099 teams from around the globe, only 88 teams were qualified for finals. The main sponsore of the ACM ICPC is IBM for many years now.

I had participated on ACM ICPC Arab region, but unfortunately we lost to the 13th place. I’ll work hard this year to get a good rank in next year… I hope so!
