Dataminers win category in the New Zealand Programming Contest

Congratulations to three of our Wellington Dataminers, Tom Pledger, Rob Sclater, and Brian Bull, who won the ‘Open Category’ for professional programmers at the New Zealand Programming Contest 2005...

The New Zealand Programming Contest is designed to test problem-solving and programming skills in an Olympic-style context. Teams of three are allocated a single computer and given a number of problems to attempt in a set time (typically 5 hours) using any of the contest languages (currently C, C++, Java and Pascal).
