2005 ACM regionals

Hendrix College sent two teams to Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, Arkansas, to compete in the Mid-Central Regional ACM Programming Contest on November 7, 2005, to compete against 121 other teams in Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Each team of three students shared one computer as they worked to solve as many of the given programming problems as possible within a five-hour time frame.

• Ian Hill, Daniel Levy, and Colin Williams completed four of the nine problems and placed 24th of the 121 teams. They placed third among the 16 teams from Arkansas.

• Alvin Grissom, Thomas Przybylinski, and Russel Reed were among the large number of teams that did not successfully complete any of this year's unusually tricky problem set, although they came quite close on several problems.
