Moscow State University Team Wins World Finals of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest

The 2018 World Finals of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) culminated today at Peking University in Beijing, China. Three students from Moscow State University earned the title of 2018 World Champions. Teams from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Peking University and The University of Tokyo placed in second, third and fourth places and were recognized with gold medals in the prestigious competition.

ACM ICPC is the premier global programming competition conducted by and for the world's universities. The global competition is conceived, operated and shepherded by ACM, sponsored by IBM, and headquartered at Baylor University. For more than four decades, the competition has raised the aspirations and performance of generations of the world's problem solvers in computing sciences and engineering.

In the competition, teams of three students tackle eight or more complex, real-world problems. The students are given a problem statement, and must create a solution within a looming five-hour time limit. The team that solves the most problems in the fewest attempts in the least cumulative time is declared the winner. This year's World Finals saw 140 teams competing. Now in its 42nd year, ICPC has gathered more than 320,000 students from around the world to compete since its inception.

    Oh, Ruski understand computers. If you listen to MSNBC, the Russians are super-genius hackers who are secretly controlling everything that Americans think about Hillary Clinton, stole emails from Clinton, the DNC, and many top campaign aides, and of course changed the vote totals to ensure Trump won.

    And of course in Soviet Russia, computer hack YOU!

    They never could get close to winning until they started doing the judging online.

    They hacked our Energy Grid & interfered with our elections. So I moved very strongly against them. With "sanctions"!!
