Posts will be made later on for each contest containing more detailed information.

With regards to the dwite... do we actually have to be at school to write it? 'cause last time I stayed 'til like 7, and that's kinda... long

hmm really? I thought we get kicked out at 5ish. better talk to ridout about it, I think you need to do it @ school cuz you need a valid supervisor.

hmm.. might've been five then, i just figured it was late 'cause it was all dark outside... but it might've been winter i guess. stupid canadian weather messes up my asian brain D:

in any case, i don't think i can form a team this year anyway, since we were limited to one comp, and nobody wants to have to handwrite code then type it in later...

don't worry, there will be teams. you can always tag along if you don't want to form.

by the way, all team based comp sci contests are all 1 computer many brains. get used to it!

On what day of the week does the Computer Science Club run? How long does it last?

Thursdays, from 3:30 to anywhere from 4:30 to 5:00. On dwite days it's a little longer than that.

Ggghhh... thanks.

is it just me, or does the dwite seem really like... poorly planned? it's a great idea, but it really seems to me like they don't put much effort into writing the contests/test cases, 'cause they pretty much just recycle the same problems in different situations...

Just a suggestion, but wouldn't this new information fit better on a new thread entirely? Because someone reading from the top wouldn't know that halfway down, some actually current information is present, and they might stop after the first couple of posts.

yeah that'd be a good idea
