The winner team gets 4000 Euros, so it's worth a look. When I took a look at the pictures of the previous years, I got really excited. They are available here (comments are in Hungarian)."

    OMG, I am so going back this summer. :)

    Here are some of the comments translated:

    1. "Does anyone know her number?"
    2. #...
    3. "We tried calling Saturday night, but she spent an hour and half talking on the phone in front of the door."
    4. "It would be worth entering the contest just for this lady..."
    5. "... but of course, I'll enter the next time."

    YES! I HAVE FINALLY USED MY HUNGARIAN SKILLZ TO CONTRIBUTE TO SLASHDOT! (let me cherish this moment because I'm sure it'll never happen again)

    Hi All!

    It was our best intention to create a problem not solvable in 24 hour. If everyone can solve it, it is more than difficult to pick the best teams.

    This year's task (again) will be completly different from last year's problem set, so be prepared ;). But our goal is the same: we specify only the goal to be solved, not the tools or the platform...

    Cheers,
