Members of the Saratov team (Russia) during the awards ceremony

The winner of this competition is the one who has the ability to successfully solve the most problems in the given time. The members of Saratov University's programming team (Russia), including first-ranked students, have already processed at least 6 questions in the 10-question lesson. These students all received 10,000 USD scholarships from IBM.

Two students from Poland, Jagiellonian University and Warsaw University, ranked second and seventh. A Dutch student ranked fourth and a Chinese student ranked fifth.

American students have a 'flat' ranking in this competition. In addition to an MIT student who ranked 8th, only one US University of California Technology student was ranked but ranked 15/39, but this student only solved 2 sentences. A number of other US universities have also sent teams to attend and are all out of the top 39, but they also received honors for their participation in the competition.

In this year's AMC-ICPC competition, there were 3 students from Ho Chi Minh City University of Science and Technology attending the event: Nguyen Tuong Quan, Nguyen Dan Thanh and Pham Huu Ngon. The goal of the Vietnamese delegation is to reach the top 20 in the world.
