McMaster team ranks 9th out of 124 teams in regional programming contest, ranking 4th for Ontario teams. Again this year, McMaster was one of 4 host sites for the East Central North American region, welcoming 25 teams from 13 different schools. The team of William Hua, Sanjay Patel and Martin Munoz managed to solve 4 of the 8 problems in the 5 hour time limit; solving 4 or more problems was a feat achieved by only 11 teams. The local contest went very smoothly, and the contestants and their coaches were very pleased with the local arrangements -- with special kudos for the substantial breakfast designed to sustain contestants for those 5 hours of intense concentration!
