The Internet Problem Solving Contest (IPSC) is an activity of the
Department of Informatics Education, Comenius University, Bratislava
and the Slovak Society for Computer Science.  Its aim is to provide
opportunity for secondary school students worldwide to compare their
problem-solving skills and to have fun.  However, the contest is open
for everybody.

The IPSC is a contest for teams consisting of up to three people.
Teams
participate via internet. Several problems will be posted at the
beginning of the competition. Each problem consists of a problem
description and two input data sets. To solve a problem you will have
to
compute correct output data for the given input data sets. You can
write
a program that solves the problem or you may produce the output by
hand
or by a combination of these techniques. Teams submit only output data
sets for judging and should not send their programs.

What do you need to participate? Access to one computer with your
favourite computing evironment and compilers on May 16 from 1:45pm to
7pm GMT+2. Access to the internet (www browsing and an e-mail account)
on the same or nearby computer at the same time. Finally, you need to
register before the contest (starting May 1, 2003).

Please, take a look at our www page http://ipsc.ksp.sk/ for further
information. You are welcome to participate! Good luck!
