The 2008 College Puzzle Challenge will commence in fewer than eight hours! Every year, Microsoft employees stage a puzzle-solving game at colleges across North America. During the event, teams of four strive to solve the largest number of puzzles within a twelve-hour timeframe. To those who will be participating today: good luck and have fun!
… and the results are in! While our team did not reach the coveted high score list, we performed well enough. We had a pretty solid start, stayed at third place at Columbia for a while, and ended up with a less-than-desirable 8th. Still, the event was immensely enjoyable and we gained experience that would greatly help our efforts next year. The next event will be our fourth and last, so we hope it will be as worthwhile as the events have been. The following screenshot pretty much sums it up:
