Newly-minted alumnus John Pardon just returned from Zagreb, Croatia, where he was competing again the International Olympiad in Informatics, "one of the most prominent computer science competitions in the world." Also from the IOI website: "The Competition Tasks are of an algorithm nature, however the contestants have to show basic skills as problem analysis, design of the algorithm needed, data structures, as well as programming and testing of their solutions. The winners of the IOI belong, no doubt, to the best young computer scientists of the world."
For the second year in a row, John finished fifth in the world (the next American contestants were 9th, then 48th). For details and final results, go to http://ioi2007.hsin.hr/index.php?page=results
