After 5h hours of intense competition, the two UCL teams ranked up first and sixth amongst more than fifty others competitors. The winning team, composed of Victor Lecomte, Simon Tihon and Matteo Couplet, managed to solve all the 12 problems while their closest competitor only solved 9!


The BAPC is a contest in which about 50 teams from leading universities in Luxemburg, Belgium and the Netherlands are served a series of algorithmic problems/puzzles. The goal of each team is to solve as many puzzles as possible within the set time limit. Solutions need to be programmed out on a computer and can be submitted to a semi-automated judging system, after which the solution is checked. The detailed results about their performance are available here: https://2016.bapc.eu/en/results/. Congratulations!
