PHAS student team ranked 4th in ACM-ICPC Programming Contest
The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM-ICPC) first started as a competition in 1970 organized by the Alpha Chapter of the UPE Computer Science Honour Society. Within years, it grew into a large multi-tier competition; in the past year, ICPC involved 29,479 student and faculty participants from 2,322 universities from 91 countries on 6 continents.
The 2013 Pacific Northwest Regional Contest just wrapped up last weekend. Among 112 teams, "UBC Wrong Answers" with team members Daniel Lu and Angus Lim, both Engineering Physics students, and Math/Physics student Paul Liu, rose to 4th in overall standing. They placed just behind Berkeley Blue (UC Berkeley), Stanford Cardinal (Stanford), and Stanford Red (Stanford).
Congratulations to Daniel, Angus, and Paul for their outstanding performance during the competition!
