programming contest 2013!

The Berkeley Programming Contest was today! As always I sneakily entered it despite being totally ineligible. It was kind of an intense contest! A bit easier than usual, and there were 9 problems instead of the usual 8 for some reason. I solved 6. Several people solved all 9 problems -- solving all of the problems is very unusual! I think I came in something like 6th place. I think the timezone difference gives me a bit of a competitive advantage (19:00-00:30 is an easier time for programming than 10:00 to 15:30.)
