C/C++ only, that makes it a whole lot easier to put everyone on equal grounds. Before I was under the impression that you could code in any language you please, and that would've been a tricky choice if you don't know the nature of the problems they'll throw at you.

Turbo Pascal > C++ imo.

If you said that about delphi or freepascal you could be right. But turbo pascal is simply lacking too many language features.

I was trolling :p
Turbo-Pascal is complete garbage except if you just want to make math based applications..
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

It is impressive to see how time can change us.

I still remember this day and how exciting it was for me to be amid a plethora of people sharing my interests; I still remember how badly I wanted to pair my overall computer-science knowledge with the other guys' and see how I would fare; I still remember the frustration solving these problems introduced and how much I hated myself for not being "competent enough" to solve them alone.

More than two years later, I find myself here, sitting, looking back, holding the Bachelor's Degree I so badly longed for, and moving forwards into more involved fields I would have never dreamt of ever understanding. I chuckle at how immature, volatile, and impetuous I was and at how ridiculously easy these problems were—it does not fit in my head how no group solved more than one problem in the four hours allotted—but I am proud to be able to dust-off the good-old TL blogs, read them, and see that I indeed overcame the then-unbreakable obstacles that kept us awake for long college nights.

Let us keep moving forwards, my friends.

Mm, thanks for this bump. Yeah, reflection and introspection are often very good things.

I'm glad you're moving forward even farther! How time changes us, indeed.....
