IOI first contest

The first IOI competition was this morning. These competitions are five hours at a computer, during which you have to write programs to solve three mathematical problems. Because they are all marked automatically, the results are available very fast. For those who were confused by the IMO scoring, this is even simpler: 100 points for each problem. I scored full marks on 2 problems and 9 on the third. The rest of the Irish team: Cian 100, Alex 21, Stephen 15. Mark Thompson from the UK got 250.
