  Well, that ended with another boundary
Competition, this time - my last
School Olympiad on Informatics. Now,
I think you can, and draw some conclusions.

  Ironically, the last three years
my participation in these competitions are constantly
there is some displacement of the proposed tasks (such as I 
unsuccessfully put it, but now explain). Previously, they were

designed to obladadeley very powerful
logical thinking, and self-programming pales into 
insignificance, becoming like a minor problem: it could be

half an hour to sit in deep thought,
studying intelligent eyes suggested the problem,
and suddenly, exclaiming, "Got it!", five minutes to write the 
complete solution! On this occasion, a well-told one of the 
attending teachers: "What is Informatics? The Science of 
Information Processing! That's handled ". 

  But more and more, in my
view, emphasis is on technique
programming. Often, the algorithm can be seen
immediately after the reading task, but on his
have a lot of sweat. Perhaps this is
just my personal opinion, due to
gradual increase in my experience, but
I had the general trend is
such.

  The balance of forces remains approximately
the same in all competitions. And in
this time: a very strong team arrived
from Biisk (one of its members and took the first place) and, 
of course, perfectly made and barnaultsy (second and third 
place). In order not to be unsubstantiated, give names

Winners:

  1 st place: Renat I. Biysk Lyceum;

  2 nd place: Kharlamov, Barnaul, shk. 42;

  3 rd place: Ivanov O., Barnaul, shk. 40.

           (Aka Saruman / Dementia corp.)

  According to the jury, it is very
close to the prize went and Kostyukov from Biysk face, but a 
sufficient number of points is still not scored. 

  The Olympics took place two days: first day
was qualifying, after it left only 8 delegates from some 30
arrived, and the second day went soztyazanie for prizes.
