A few things for you to do to stay up on this:

Create an account on this:

Notes on how to submit java programs (must use class MAIN):

First: "Crypto" problem (time cap yourself at 1 hour)

Second: read the packet “sanitized”

http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~loaj/ACM/spring09-sanitized.pdf

and figure out which problems are easy/hard.  Figure out three easiest and three hardest.  Do this in 8 minutes or less if possible – hint: don’t read every word.

 The ranking are here: http://courseweb.sp.cs.cmu.edu/contest/public_html/invitational/2011/postcontest/spring09.doc

Third: submit something to UVA that is accepted.  We will use this often because it simulates the grading environment
