[pgh-pm] Programming challenge

[Tom Moertel]

Every year the ACM hosts programming competitions, and after the finals
they make the challenge problems available.  I worked out most of the
solutions to the 1996 problem set, and they were fun.

If you are interested in flexing your problem-solving skills, give them
a try:

Cheers,
Tom

P.S.  The only programming languages that are allowed in the World
Finals are Pascal, C, C++, and Java.  Perhaps a few of you can whip up
solutions devious enough to demonstrate why Perl is "outlawed."  ;-)
