Google Code Jam ‘09, My Experience

It was an extra exciting night! I was trying to solve Google Code Jam’s contests, there were 3 of them, each have two included based on Small and Large data sets. Alien Language, Watersheds and Welcome to Code Jam. I should say that the experience itself is great and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to spend an exciting night with his mind focused in thinking about such problems. I have seen a lot of guys from Egypt, and I was really impressed when I saw 1 of them in the top 10 and others in every random page on the scoreboard. I dunnu if any of CAT members was there, if anyone – a CAT Member or not -, drop me a message to discuss the ideas, it will be fun.

Update: Here is Google analysis for the three problems
