Third Annual Internet Programming Contest Final Results
-------------------------------------------------------

The final results from the Third Annual Duke Internet Programming
Contest are now complete.  There were 291 teams that registered,
submitting 890 programs to be judged and 152 questions/clarification
requests.  127 teams were able to solve at least one problem out of
the six possible.  Any one team solved at most four problems. The
teams represented institutions from at least 14 different countries on
five continents.

Some interesting statistics:

Problem	Submissions	Correct

   1	  324		  70
   2	  176		  44
   3	  138		  60
   4	   43		   4
   5	  178		  31
   6	   28		   9

(three submissions were for non-existent problems; some of the correct
solutions were not counted because they were submitted too late.)

The turnaround time for judging programs was quite good.  All but one
program were judged within six minutes of the time they arrived at our
site; 90% of the programs were judged within three minutes.  Even with
the last minute surge of approximately 45 problems, the turnaround was
fast.  Responses to clarification requests were also pretty quick: All
were answered within 9.5 minutes upon arrival, with 50% answered in
under two minutes.

The top five teams in each division are listed here, followed by the
top ten teams overall.  Complete scores and a list of teams can be
retrieved from the host cs.duke.edu via anonymous ftp as the file
dist/misc/acm_contest/results92.tar.Z.

The problem description, actual test data, sample solutions, and
expected output for all the problems will be available in the same
directory as the file problems92.tar.Z within the next couple of days.
