NCSS Challenge 2008
Online payments
The final day!
It's the last day of the NCSS Challenge 2008. Over the past five weeks, the participants have written literally tens of thousands of Python programs, and I'm sure we'll get a final surge today.
Well done to everyone who has taken part! We're constantly amazed by the effort you have all put in and the quality of your code. And if you're scrambling to solve some final problems today, good luck!
The scoreboard will take us some time to finalise, since we need to chase up some things manually and add or remove some points here and there, so check back later in the week for the final results.
Quite a few people have asked about paying online rather than by cheque. Unfortunately, we haven't sorted out details with the university in time for this year's Challenge, so online payments are not available.
Don't worry if you haven't sent in a cheque already: you can start the Challenge, and as long as we receive the cheque in the next few weeks, you'll be in the running for one of our shiny certificates.
