• All of the problems require console input and students need to be able to read mixed input types from the keyboard.
• Students should look at last year's problems to get a good idea of the type of problems that will be posed during the 2009 contest.
• Students can bring any written materials to the contest (such as text books) but no electronic aids of any kind.

The following software will be supported:

• Visual Studio.Net C++, J#, C#, Visual Basic
• jGRASP
• Bloodshed Dev-C++
• Eclipse

This year students will turn in .exe versions of all code.
