Swiss Olympiad in Informatics

On January 14, 2012 at ETH Zurich the day of the Swiss Olympiad in Informatics took place. The highlight of the programme was the talk of Prof. Dr. Donald E. Knuth, winner of the Turing Award. His talk «All Questions Answered» was a discussion based on questions from the audience. Please enjoy the video recording of this lecture.

The ranking of Round 2 takes both, the theoretical and the practical part, into account. The rank is determined by the sum of the points in Round 2P (practice) and 2T (theory).

The best 15 participants are invited to the Swiss Finals in July 2012.
