The Final Showdown
Posted 16 May 2008 by
Algorithm Finals finalists introducedThe Algorithm Finals was rather interesting as none of the finalists were able to finish up all three problems. It actually took quite a bit of time before the submission for the 250-point came in, by Petr. Apparently, the problems were actually much tougher than the ones in the semifinals.
A couple of hours after the system phase was over, the TopCoder founder, Jack Hughes gave a speech thanking the members, staff and sponsors for a successful event. This was immediately followed by the announcement of the winners.

The winners for the OpenAIM competition were also announced. Unfortunately, TriviaFrenzy didn't get anything. It turns out people don't like trivia games.
In conclusion, I'd like to say that it was really great experience. I'll be looking forward to TCO next year. What I'm not looking forward to though is my trip back to Lagos, which should take a total of about 17 to 18 hours.
