- Each team will be represented by two participants. The competition will consist of programming solutions to five problems. All the problems will be designed to test the problem solving ability of the participants. The programming languages will be C and C++ and Java.
- Each team will be provided an IBM compatible Pentium computer, running Microsoft Windows. Compilers will include associated development environments. It will also be possible to work with simple editors and the command line.
- Teams will not be allowed to bring in and refer to any printed reference material, including software listings.
- The input and output operations will be kept simple, allowing participants to concentrate on the problem solving aspects. Input will be character-based from standard input files. Output will be to the screen, using standard characters.

Famous quotes containing the word solutions:
“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
