Get ready for ACM !!!

9 more days to go...
ACM-ICPC Regional Programming Contest in Indonesia...
I believe it will be a memorable experience in my life...

First time represent MMU to take part in programming contest
First time visit an internatinal company - IBM, our sponsor for this contest
First time go abroad
First time take flight
First time meet other programming expert from other country
and I believe there will be a lot of first time that I cant imagine...

Although we know it's impossible to win
Since we have limited time for training compared to other contestants
They really spent a lot of time ( 1 sem, 1 year, even a few years ) to prepare for this contest
But we only have 2 hours per week for training in this sem
Moreover, tons of assignment and mid-term exam made us really no time to bother the preparation for this contest.

No pain no gain...
So we have to sacrifice our coming 2 weeks sem break for 1 week intensive training
T.T

I hope after this intensive training, our main weak point - Graph Theory can be strengthened
and also our logical thinking as well...

I just hope that we manage to solve 1 question during the contest
and this is also what our coach told us...
Since MMU sent many teams in this contest during last few years
But the best result was 1 question solved over 6 - 10 question I think
and after solved 1 question, the rank will be raised to 15th - 20th
So we can imagine how tough the contest is...

I know we are using the eggs to hit the rocks (以卵击石)
But I think I will enjoy that kind of feeling...

Looking forward to the day...
