These are the official scores for the first ACM selection contest of
Fall 1997 (Deep Fathom Five).  The next one will be on Saturday 18
October.  (There will be a practice contest to familiarize people with
the environment at 10:30 and a real contest starting between 12:00 and
13:00, which will run for three hours.)

If you were in the contest and would like copies of the code that you
wrote, please send email to acm00@plg.  Test data/output and HTML
versions of the questions are available at

  http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~acm00/

Here are the official scores for everyone with at least one problem
solved (seven people failed to solve any of the problems).

(People are ranked first by the number of questions solved, then by
decreasing time penaltly.  The time penalty for a question that you
solve is the number of minutes it takes to produce a correct solution
plus an additional 20 minutes for every incorrect submission made.)

The years indicate when participants have previously gone to the
finals.

U of T held a contest at the same time with four of the questions the
same.  Their question 5 was similar to the anagram problem on the
contest posters.  (Next contest we should have identical problem sets.)

Here are the UofT results (22 people competed):

Key: #attempts/elapsed time HH:MM until solved

Due to technical difficulties their contest was extended by 20 minutes
... we had several correct submissions 20 minutes before any of the U
of T had correct submissions.  Note that the technical difficulties
could have increased U of T's penalty times considerably.
