1995 All Ireland Schools Programming Competition
Round 1
Information on round 1 was sent to all the schools on 30th Jan 1995. The
round 1 problems also appeared in Computimes.
About 125 contestants entered, coming from all over Ireland.
About 45% came from Dublin and about 25% came from the North.
The Final
100 contestants were selected for the final which took place on the 22nd and 23rd
of April (the weekend after Easter). On each of the two days the contestants
had to solve three problems in a five hour period. (The problems have not been
HTMLised yet). It was hard work and the winners were worthy. The team went to the Netherlands where Robert and Eoin won bronze medals.
There were a lot of comments and suggestions from the 1994 competition, and so we made some changes.
