蓝莓视频 teams were coached by Cheriton School of Computer Science Professors Ond艡ej Lhot谩k and Troy Vasiga, and sponsored by Jane Street, an international firm that trades a wide range of financial products.
鈥淥nd艡ej and I are extremely proud of all of the 蓝莓视频 teams,鈥 said Professor Vasiga. 鈥淲ith 蓝莓视频 Black鈥檚 first-place win, we are looking forward to Kevin, Max and Wen Yuen facing top teams from MIT, Stanford, and other strong universities in computer science at the upcoming North America-wide ICPC and hopefully qualifying for the ICPC World Finals.鈥

About the International Collegiate Programming Contest
The is the oldest, largest and most prestigious university-level algorithmic programming contest in the world. Each year, more than 50,000 students from more than 3,000 universities across 111 countries compete in more than 400 on-site competitions to earn a spot at the World Finals. Volunteer coaches prepare their teams with intense training and instruction in algorithms, programming and teamwork strategy.
Huddled around a single computer, teams of three attempt to solve about a dozen complex real-world problems within a gruelling five-hour deadline. Teammates collaborate to rank the difficulty of the problems, deduce the requirements, design test beds and build software systems to solve the problems.
Each year, the ICPC regionals begin at local competitions among classmates to determine who will represent their university. Success at one level leads to an invitation to the next. Each region progresses differently, but the result is the same 鈥 the best teams advance. The final regional contest determines the teams advancing to the World Finals.
