You should be proud, then. Next year's international contest will be held in Vancouver.
The prizes were tons of scholarships, etc., plus some Thinkpads, I believe. Everyone in the top 10 got some sort of scholarships, I believe. Also, the winners of the "Visual Age for Java Challenge" (a contest for fun IBM puts on the day before the real contest) got Lego Mindstorms.
"Idiot" must be taken in context. If 99% of the world agrees the world is flat, the 1% round-worlders are "idiots", even though they're right.
Sarcasm is the tool of the weak and stupid. They're all idiots. It's entirely possible for the majority of the world to consist of idiots -- just look around you or at yourself. This intellectual and moral relativism is what's destroying society today, and I for one say it's about damn time!
