2009 ACM Programming Contest Results and Webcast

Jon Larsson writes "Yesterday, the 33rd World Finals of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest were held at KTH — The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. World Champions, for the second consecutive year, are the Saint Petersburg State University of IT, Mechanics and Optics. They won in competition with 99 other teams from all six continents — the best of the over 7000 teams participating in the qualifying rounds during the past half year. The full results can be found here and the contest problem set is available here (PDF). For the first time ever, the whole event was broadcast live, both on the web and on national TV in Sweden. The broadcast was produced by media students of KTH and the Lillehammer University College in Norway. The webcast in its entirety (over 7 hours) can be viewed here."

Re:Source code of winning solutions

Not quite the source code but as it is an algorithm contest it should help understanding it:

As to languages, in the case of ICPC there are only C, C++ and Java. Other programming competitions allow more languages, most people use C/C++ in these contests anyway...
