What is ICPC?

The International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is a global programming competition for university students. You compete in a team of three, sharing a single computer to solve a problem set of 10–15 algorithmic problems within five hours. Teams are ranked primarily by the number of problems solved, with total time and penalties from incorrect submissions used to break ties.
