GLOSSY: The Summer Programmer Of The Month Contest is underway! Deadline is September 30, 2005 http://dinsights.com/POTM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I love taking digital pictures, but that nice glossy photo paper is expensive! So when my lovely wife asks for prints of a bunch of pictures, I always try and fit them onto a single piece of paper.
The summer POTM challenges you to write a program that will place up to 26 pictures on a sheet of paper with the least amount of leftover space. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Programmer Of The Month (POTM) is a just-for-fun programming contest with an active forum and over 1100 members (we usually get 40-50 entries for each POTM challenge). Supported languages include C/C++/Perl/Ruby/PHP/Python/awk/shell. Emphasis is on the algorithms and the joy of programming.
