As the resident programming challenge junkie, I feel the need to point
out all the cool contests when they come up.

The Internet Problem Solving Contest just started accepting
registrations today for their event on March 13th. I've entered this
event in the past and consider it to be a fun little brain bender.

The contest generally involves around eight problems most of which will
have easy and hard variations. The format is that they describe the
problem and provide the input. All they want back is the output, so
you can use any tools you like.

You can look over the old problems in the "ARCHIVE" link at the top of
their site. Here's a link:

Hope to see a few Rubists competing!

Hehehe, that is what I thought I read in the original email...funny how
our minds work.

I would like to participate, but unfortunately I'll be somewhere in
Yellowstone Park on vacation on those days, grrr...

Oh well, I'm sure other Rubyists will properly represent the community. It
might be cool to have an international team (well it might be hard NOT to
have an international team.) I'd have quite a few nominees for a team from
some of the awesome Ruby Quiz solutions I've read.
