Here are the results of this year’s ACM programming competition. 1,411 universities from 75 countries competed. As you can see the slavic countries (and especially Russia) dominated, as always. The fact is that slavic people are naturally better at technical things such as programming than anyone else in the world, which is why you see more ingenious designs coming from Russia than anywhere else despite the fact that they’re operating on a much lower budget than many other countries. I am proud to be partly slavic! Slavic power!!
