I've run programming contests in college as part of the ACM. These
were algorithmic challenges; the sorts of problems you might find at
topcoder or the ICPC. We always managed to find a few sponsors who
would buy us pizza and prizes. These sorts of events are always a
blast.<br>
<br>
I'd be happy to help administer the contest and create problems.
Have you used pc2[1]? It's some software that handles the actual act
of problem submission and other contest bureaucracy.<br>

competition? I'm thinking maybe a<br>
set of a dozen problems worth different amount of points and
given two<br>
or three hours to solve them. And also FABULOUS
PRRRRRIIIIIZES!<br>
<br>
I don't have time to organize this in the near future, but
perhaps in<br>
a month or so. I just want to gauge the weather.<br>
