The contest is over! Thanks to everyone who participated, we hope you enjoyed it. Congratulations to Michal ForiĊĦek for solving seven problems and winning the contest. If you have any feedback for us, we'd be happy to hear about it at spc11@scrool.se.
Solutions and test data for the problems will be published here within a few days. This server will be up and running for a while for those of you who want more time to solve the problems.

Half an hour left to the contest. Good luck everyone! Two corrections:
- The documentation previously stated that the Java time limit is one second more than the C/C++ time limit. This was wrong. The time limit is the same in all languages. (Don't worry, we have solved all problems in Java and set the time limits accordingly.)
- The registration page stated that all submissions must be in a single file. This was wrong. You can submit multiple files, as stated in the documentation.

It's the day before SPC 2011, and we hope you are as excited about it as we are. Some additional pieces of information:
- During the last hour of the contest, the scoreboard will become frozen. What this means is that the scoreboard will show any run submitted in the last hour as "pending". In other words you will be able to see which people submitted on which problems, but not whether they were successful. You will still be able to see the judgments of your own submissions. The final results will be revealed shortly after the end of the contest.
- Unlike the problems of the practice session, the problems in the real contest will not be sorted by difficulty. If you have trouble locating the easy problems, use the scoreboard to check which problems most people have solved.
- The hardware listed on the technical info page was incorrect. It has now been corrected.
- It was mentioned in a clarification, but we're not sure how many people noticed it: example solutions (in C++ only, sorry) and test data for last year's problems (i.e., the practice problems) can be found here.
