Google Code Jam 2004

Google Code Jam 2004: "Google's annual celebration of the art of computer science. Every autumn, thousands of like-minded souls tackle the most ego-deflating programming problems our engineers can come up with. What's at stake? Well, for the top 50 finalists, an all-expense-paid trip to the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA and a share of $50,000 in total prize money. You might win some cash. You might wind up changing the world at Google yourself. You'll definitely enjoy the sheer intellectual pleasure of testing your gray matter against that of the world's best coders. "
