Facebook Hacker Cup

Post by dandymcgee »

Facebook is holding a programming / puzzle-solving competition in January 2011.
Facebook wrote:The Hacker Cup is Facebook's international coding competition. The contest consists of three online rounds and a final round held at Facebook's headquarters. This is your chance to compete against the worlds best programmers and potentially win the title of world champion and other awesome prizes.
Sounds pretty awesome to me.
Prizes wrote:The finalists will be competing for:
1st place: $5,000 USD
2nd place: $2,000 USD
3rd place: $1,000 USD
4th - 25th place: $100 USD
Alright, how can you pass THAT up? ;)

Anyone here thinking about participating? Registration ends January 10th.

I can't help thinking about the scene in "The Social Network" where they hire people based on their ability to hack and drink at the same time... :lol:
