2009 Oberlin ACM contest teams
The Oberlin Computer Science programming teams had another successful trip to the ACM Programming Contest on Saturday, October 30th.
Four teams of three students competed in the contest: O(bees) (Michael Brooks, Michael Stevenson, Siyang Wu), O-nage (Katie Kuksenok, Ted Warner, Zach Levine), Oberlin Oriented Programmers (Kiron Roy, Emma Conner, Nathan Brown), and Foo Of Oberlin (Thomas Ramfjord, Brendan Chambers, Madhav Kaushish).
O(bees) and O-nage solved 3 problems and Oberlin Oriented Programmers and Foo Of Oberlin solved 2 problems. Overall among 113 teams, they placed 17th, 22nd, 34th, and 44th, respectively. In addition, O(bees) and O-nage ranked 2nd and 4th among the 43 teams participating at the Youngstown State location. Both of those teams were recognized at the post-contest banquet and won backpacks.
Congratulations to all!

This past Saturday (March 28th), Oberlin Computer Science’s Team O(Bees) competed at the 2009 Carnegie Melon Invitational Programming Contest. Michael Brooks and Katie Kuksenok competed against almost 30 other teams from schools around the region. They successfully solved 7 out of the 8 problems and took second place in both the “doubles division” as well as 2nd in the overall contest.

On February 28, two intrepid teams of students competed in the 20th annual Denison University Programming Contest. This year there were 16 teams from 9 schools competing in a 4-hour contest.
O(bees)
The “O(bees)” (Joe Kramer-Miller, Katie Kuksenok, Michael Brooks, and Michael Stevenson) took first place, solving 4 out of the 6 problems in just over 90 minutes. The coaches were watching the scoreboard as other teams kept creeping closer and closer. In the last 40 minutes, it looked like one of the Denison teams was going to pass them, but they held onto the lead until the very end.
Foo of Oberlin
Our other team “Foo of Oberlin” consisted of Thomas Ramfjord, Brendan Chambers, Zack Levine, and Jules Wellinghoff. They also solved 4 problems and took third overall.
Congratulations to all of our students on an excellent job!

On November 1, two teams of Oberlin students competed in the regionals for the 2008 ACM International Programming Contest.
Foo of Oberlin (Ted Warner, Katie Kuksenok, and Michael Brooks) did well at the Programming Contest today. They solved three of eight problems and placed first among 40 teams competing at the Youngstown site and 14th among 124 teams overall in the Regional. One of the problems they solved was solved by only four other teams, two from CMU, one from Waterloo, and one from Purdue.
