All problems were solved correctly by at least one person. Problem C and E were not solved in Java, though.

There were 37 participants. One person got 5 problems right; seven people got 3 problems right; thirteen people got 2 right; ten got 1 right. So we had a lot more successful participants than last year, while not quite as many excelled with four or more problems.
