IOI 2008

The 20th International Olympiad in Informatics was held in Cairo, Egypt in 2008. There were two competition days, with 3 tasks given to the competitors on each day. You can see the tasks, test cases and solutions below.

Day 1:
      Type Printer
      Islands
      Fish

Day 2:
      Linear Garden
      Pyramid Base
      Teleporters

Other materials:
      Test cases
      Solutions and booklet
      Practice problems


Note that the grading model changed at IOI'94 and beyond.
Before IOI 1994, a human evaluator would sit behind the competitor's computer and do the testing manually (enter test data through the keyboard, check the output on the screen). Starting from IOI 1994, an automatic grading process is used, with test input defined in files.
