Once every couple of months,
The POTM-Master
poses some kind of problem that can be solved with a program of some sort.
(We currently support C, C++, PERL, JAVA, Scheme48, Python, and
UNIX shells/tools of various sorts plus translators for Pascal and Fortran.)
Folks from all around the world mail in their source code and their results are compared. After breaking all the ties, a winner is declared and they get custody of the famous rotating POTM trophy until the next contest. It is for FUN ... nothing more, nothing less. It started as a contest for AT&T folks, and (since 1993) has grown to a global community of close to 2000 people from various companies and universities. Anyone who can get email to me can participate!!! Get on the mailing list and make sure you hear about each new problem - even if you don't ever enter, you may enjoy hearing about the problems. Email me at potm@att.com and I'll put you on the mailing list! |
