Some additional details:
The Internet Problem Solving Contest (IPSC) is an activity of the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, Comenius University, Bratislava. Its aim is to provide opportunity for programmers worldwide to compare their problem-solving skills and to have fun.
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, you may produce the output by hand or in any other way. Teams submit only the output data sets for judging.
What do you need to participate? At least one computer with your favorite computing environment, and access to the internet (www browsing and an e-mail account). Finally, you need to register your team before the contest.
