CSA department of IISc (that's where I went for masters) had an exciting
programming contest yesterday. My roommate and I had fun solving some
of the problems. We could have solved all of them if we had not been busy
during the day. Here are the problems , for the inquisitive. I wonder whether such problems will come up in real life at all.

I have been wanting to add a comments feature for this diary. The fact
that not many read it is not helping me greatly. Anyways, it will atleast
serve to amuse myself with PHP hacking for few hours. I am not sure
when I will get those hours, though.
