Got an email today about registration opening for the google code jam.

http://www.google.com/codejam/

I registered last year and did fairly decent in the practice rounds, but missed the official tryout.

I don't get this. Do you have to leave the safety and comfort of your house? Do they tell you what to make? I'm so confused. But this sounds cool nonetheless.

Everything up until the final challenge is coded through a java applet. Pick your preferred language (for the proper syntax highlighting and compiling), type your code into the window and submit.

You pick a challenge, 250pt, 500pt, or 1000pt. Once you view the challenge, the timer would start. The quicker you get it in, the more points you can get. The challenge will tell you what class and method names to use and provide sample results for testing.
